GPH Return and Intake Questions !

Here is my issue... 300g

I own a 96x24x30

My return (to the tank) is a 1" bulkhead
My intake (to the sump) is 1 1/2"


My goal is to keep SPS and from what I am reading I need a 15-20 turn over so approx 4500-6000gph

What do I need to do to accomplish my goal?

I was looking at the quietOne 14000 (3600 gph) then supplementing other power heads...is that too much strain on my 1" bulkheads and 1 1/2" return pipe?

Can I leave the bulkhead the same size and just expand the return pipe to a 2"?
Do I need to do anything at all ?

how would you do it?



Note: my tank has a sealed top outside of the 3 openings on the top....


Thanks
