55 gal waterflow

How much water flow do I need for my 55 gal, which I plan to use as a reef tank in the future. Should I have more than one powerhead? Is one 300 gph enough?

acrylic or Plexiglass? are they equal?

I'm building a sump, the places I've visited said they only carry Plexiglass. Is plexiglass the best material for building a sump? Is this the stuff I need? Anyone with some advise?

will cleaner shrimp eat pods?

I just added a culture of pods and other stuff hoping they'll establish in my tank so I can add a mandarin fish. But I have a question, if I add cleaner shrimp, will they eat them?

live sand

Any one know where one can get some live sand generally? I'm setting up a 55 gal tank, and I'm new to saltwater tanks. Is it important that I get live sand? or just live rock?
