my question may be a dumb one, but i was wondering... i just bought a used aquarium, and it had an undergravel filter with 2 powerheads, the substrate was crushed coral. I was wondering if i could replace the gravel with live sand and still have an efective UG filter? Any suggestions would help alot, thanks

No, UGF will not work with sand. Your better off removing the pipes for a sand bottom.
