in a nut shell

A plenum is little more than a vacant space in the substrate, harboring anaerobic bacteria, which converts nitrates into nitrogen. In order for the anaerobic bacteria to function, the plenum must contain carbon dioxide and be devoid of oxygen.

So technically you can say it is an undergravel filter with out the up tubes. You also need to have the right layers and thickness of substarte for it to work properly.

In case I missed something, how deep of a bed do you go above that with sand?

There is a lot of info about plenum's on the GARF website.

With the answer he put here I dont think he will tell me.

I called Pauls house the other night and his wife answered the phone. I asked for Paul and she said "Hold on a minute, he's putting water in the tank."

I was like "HE"S DOING WHAT?!?!"

nope, I had to pull the plenum out and cut a inch off the front and back because it was to close.
