I did some reading after I posted(yeah I know I should of done that 1st) and apparrently pool filter sand can be rough however I have used it without problems with peacocks, a tiretrack, and 2 fire eels

Pfs is fine. I use it myself, and many other members also use it without issues. I keep Polypterus, which drag themselves across the sand, and it doesn't hurt them.
Update:
For one thing it's not even a peacock it's a half banded thanks

Another it's really active now since the first day where it couldn't even say upright, it explores the tank even when the lights on. When it's time to eat I just find it by picking up hides and when I do tweezer feed it bloodworms eats em real fast. Already used to my hand being in the tank and eats off tweezers well
Here's it dancing around after eating some bloodworms

It's doing great, I added a 5 pounds of Nat Geo sand in and dug out a sand pit pretty much in my tank, all the fish love it but I haven't seen the eel explore it yet so we will wait and see.
Eel still hasn't shown interest in sand, it just hides in all the different hides in my tank. The loaches constantly stir it up with the cory catfish so I'm not too worried, I'll still stir it up from time to time
