I think that the best would be a 55 but a 40 long would work. Oh and think of all those tangs that you can put in there!

You will need to use glass. With the required amount of flow required for a reef tank the plexi won't hold. Silicone won't bond to plexi, only glass. Glass is also cheaper.

What are the dimensions of your 55? You'll need at least 4 panes.
