Fear not bil. It's a matter of compensation. I have some catts potted in quite deep plastic pots. A bit of media wastage on my part - but no issues. If the media is airy enough ... such as using suitably large sized scoria pieces (which is what I choose to use), and if air flow is good through a good drainage pot, then everything will be great - provided temperature is good too.

Another thing I do is to use relatively large diameter scoria pieces at the bottom of the pot. Eg. fill the bottom quarter or third of the pot with big pieces of media. This can help with airing.
