How fast does water need to flow to carry 2 mm sediment grains?

According to the findings of Hjulström, a velocity of about 10 cm/second is required to maintain transport of grains with diameter of 2 mm. About 50 cm/second are required to start moving a settled grain of that size. Note that these numbers are dependent on shape and density of the sediment. If styrofoam is your sediment the water doesn't have to flow at all to carry the grains and if you look at little gold nuggets the water has to flow significantly faster to carry the grains. This is one of the reasons why placer deposits form.
