Talking The 180gal Family Project

My husband picked up our new tank (180gal) and cabinetry Saturday. The tank was originally set up as FW and it's not drilled so we're going to have to make a lot of adjustments. We have a friend who ownes a glass shop who's going to drill it for us as soon as we decide what size bulkheads we're going to use. We're going to back-drill the tank instead of having to deal with acrylic. We also have a friend who does auto window tint and we'll have him "tint" the back glass with mirror or black tint, we haven't decided which (don't worry, he's tinting the outside, not the inside of the tank). We're going to take our time setting this up because we want to do it right.
We're going to use a 75gal tank as our sump and a 41.5gal QT tank that was custom built to sit next to the 180gal and look like an extension of the larger tank. Anyway, I have pictures to start. Any advice on the size of bulkheads? We're going to have 2 drains, 2 returns and 1 CL.
