Help with tank plumbing/design on 205 gallon

[elemenohpee]

I recently acquired a 205 gallon reef ready acrylic aquarium. It has a built in overflow in the center of the tank. At the bottom of the overflow are (4) pre drilled holes. (2) of the holes are 1 1/2” and the other (2) holes are 2 3/8”. The tank also has (4) more 1 1/2” holes at the very top of the aquarium. I’m guessing those are the return lines. I’m going to run a line from my pump return and split to the (4) return holes in the tank. I have a 3000 gph submersible pump that I’ll be using in my 100 gallon sump tank/filter. (my reason for such a big pump is because I know I’ll lose pressure splitting off to (4) returns. In case it’s too powerful I’ll have a ball valve on each return to reduce flow) 

I guess my question is do I use the bean animal, herbie, or durso plumbing method? 

I’m sure these holes were specifically meant for a certain design/set up so any advice on how I should plumb the tank would be great. I can attach photos if needed.

I’m sure it’s obvious but I’ll mention anyway.

I don’t plan on setting up a reef tank I’m going all Tropheus!!!

Typically the 2 larger holes in the over flow are for the herbie and the 2 smaller are the returns.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve been doing some research trying to figure it out and I think I’ve come up with nice design. I will post pics in the next 2 weeks and info about it once all my parts arrive.
