please help design my closed loop.

I have a 96x30x27 custom acrylic on order and I need to let them know where to drill.
I was planning on doing the drilling myself when the tank got here but I'm told this will void the warranty, So now instead of taking my time to research I need to make a decision on the fly.

I'll be using an OM8 on a hammerhead. I'll also be using a Tunze wavebox + extension and Tunze PH's.
I know I can't expect someone to give me a perfect formula but this will be my first closed loop so I would like to hear you advice and suggestions.
I'll also have to make a decision on my ext overflow but let's tackle one problem at a time.
