Why did you rinse the rock in hot water? Did you wash all of the rock? That probably killed a fair amount of bacteria and you will probably need to...
As Gianni inferred, the main difference between these bulbs and more expensive bulbs is that they don't last very long. A good bulb will last between...
Why not do just 2 150s?
That's why I asked about the MH, that setup you mentioned is what I would do. LEDs are still really new and I would wait for other people to mess...
Go with the MP40, that's what I have on my 55. You can always dial it down, but you can't always dial it up. Mine was $405, and that was about 9...

Any pics of the acans?
If you're hell bent on using the cheapest sand you can find, then go for and report what if anything will happen. Silicate based sand has very sharp...
What type of corals do you want? You could potentially get away with it if you want soft and lps corals, but sps corals require better water quality...
