Yes

Nope you cant have one!

can my freshwater plants grow in sand??

Definately, but you might want to consider putting in a substrate under the sand as it has 0 nutrients for your plants!

Have a look at this thread....

If you read the link I posted above it tells you how to change from gravel to sand. But here it is again as you obviously didn't look at it....
