Which do I want for a 55 gallon GSP tank?
Crushed coral with aragonite?
or
Aragonite sand
Also, how much will a need for my tank? 15lbs or 40lbs? The external measurements for the bottom of the tank are 4' 1/4" by 1' 1/2"
Which substrate do I want?

you need around 40 lbs of either.
that will get you a 1.5ish" deep bed if you are using crushed coral id go less at maybe 30 lbs
I prefer the sand as its easier to clean and doesnt trap debris. i use crushed coral in the sump so it does catch debris yet is out of the way and so the gunk isnt visible
