33 Can you grow plants with an undergravel filter (UGF)?
Oh my yes! Make sure you have enough gravel for the plants to be

you will probably get roots growing in the plates, it will be harder
to vacuum everything, and will be a major pain to pull and replant.
Many feel so strongly that you shouldn't grow plants with an UGF that
it has become a bit of a religious issue on Usenet. However, this does
not mean it is not possible... like most religious issues, it is
something for which you must make your own decision. :)
