how much does it take away from your tank when you drill holes ini the bottom or back?

I have attached a PDF of what I was going to do with my 240. I say was because I just sold the 8-way and hammerhead I was going to use for the closed loop and bought three of the new Vortech pumps.

Not much for a CL.

Just dont drill too many in the same general location.

I popped 2 holes in the back glass for intakes to my CL. Use an Iwaki70 and return it through 2 1" SeaSwirls. About as much as I can go w/ the way that I run things... I tried an Iwaki100 on it, and it was too much flow when the SS's swept in the front-to-back position. My tank is basically a 180, but 6" taller.
