I'm setting up a 55 gal for my jackdempsey and I was wondering what would be best for substrate? Would play sand work?

That's what I do with mine also. I put it in a 5g bucket and put a hose in and stir every once in a while, come back in 30 min and its ready to go.You should because if not your tank will be cloudy for a while unroll everything settles. Filters could be damaged by sands particles as well..
The easiest way to clean is by dumping the sand into a bucket then filling it with a water house untill it overflows.. The overflowing water will carry off must of the loose particles.
