The water would be slowed going through the sand unless it was suspended like it is in a fluidized sand filter.

Also, how do you keep it from falling through the under gravel filter grate?

If you did find a fine enough grate, the water pulling down through the sand combined with detrites would turn your sand bed into concrete in no time.
