Too many holes?

I finished drilling my tank and it looks like too many holes.
The top 4 are drilled for 1" bulkheads(cls) return to tank and the bottom outsides are drilled for 1.5" (cls) to pump and the center is a 1.5" overflow return..

Here is all I have it's a model I made I ddid not take any pics.

The holes are 6" edge to edge at the closest point.

Should I be worried?

Oh it's a 72x18 125g

Does seem like a lot of holes! I honestly don't know if you should be worried but I do know each hole weakens the glass.

Were they really ALL necessary???

I emailed glass-holes.com and they said they have had many more holes in a tank that size with no problem...
