cl head pressure

This might be a silly question when making a closed loop system how do you calculate head pressure to pick the right pump. I am designing a 300 gal 96x30x25 with a om 4 way and want to use a red dragon if it possible to save on the elec bill.

let me clarify a little with 2 of the 4 returns on the bottom of the tank the out going water is under more pressure to exit the pipe how do u compensate for that in the head loss calculator.

with A CL there shuldn't be any Head pressure. Due to the fact is all part of the same body of water

so that means the only loss would be the plumbing from the pump to the cl outlets?
