 How can I use a Undergravel filter and "Desert Sand" together without it
 clogging up the powerheads and the plate tray itself. Is there some way to

You might consider a "reverse-flow" powerhead arrangement with foam filters
(provided by the manufacturers) on intake sides of the pumps and discharging
the water into the U/G risers...
