Even 850gph is a small amount of water movement IMO, uless your return pump is really hauling or you have powerheads.
I vote for enlarging the holes and using an even bigger pump than the one you have.
If you move those holes up to accomodate 1" bulkheads then your selection of pumps grows...

I ran a 4x39w fixture on a 65g tank (24" high) and LPS had no issues on the bottom. Crocea clam near the top wasnt displaying any signs of distress. I...
I would love the 4"x2" matt of GSP from concept as well as a 1 head frogspawn and rock of orange zoas from Ed. Unfortunately I will be away and wont be able to make the meeting. :(
