Since you have aragonite sand, yes you can use it...but as mentioned already, the bacteria living in it will not survive SW.
Do you know exactly how I should "aqua scape" the aquarium? I was thinking a fuzzy dwarf lion fish and the snowflake moray eel, so I would have plenty of caves and 1 major cave, possibly a large flowerpot upside down. What would you recommend for a 55 gallon SW, I can't get anything too expensive. (I saw a 300 dollar filter at my LFS today) What shape of tank is good for the fish, I saw a marineland 56 gallon column and it looked nice. I really liked the hexagon tanks, I think more area is better, am I right?

I can only afford a 55-60 gallon, what in that range do you recommend?

65g if its possible, I'd rather have the extra 6" of depth makes aquascaping a lot easier. You could put in a pvc tunnel for the eel.
I'l try to get a 65, but what shape do you recommend?

A 60 "tub" is a nice tank 36x18x20. I wouldn't get anything narrower than 18" for aquascaping purposes. Just my opinion.
^^ +1 the Aqueon 65g is 36x18x25.. Not sure which 60 you were thinking of but you mentioned marineland a few times for other tanks the marineland 60 only has 12" depth. Some people think the 48" width is better but the extra 6" depth will make your rockscaping much easier.
