I'm looking to get a circulation pump for my 50 gallon saltwater reef tank and i found the hydor koralia pump does anyone know if this one is good for acrylic or if it is only for glass tanks. Also would i be alright with one pump or two?

Im assuming this is 36" in length, What are you planning on keeping as far as corals go, that would help in determining your flow needs. The Hydor's are good for the price. I have 2 #2's in my 40g long, thinking I should have gone with the #3's but they are good enough. The magnet can safely hold Koralias applied in tanks with glass (or acrylic) up to 15mm thick. So yes on the acrylic
