Return plumbing question.

Finishing up on return plumbing and asking before I cement it together I am wondering if this is ok?
The question is will this T connection cause to much turbulence and hurt my head pressure? The T connection is right in the middle of the tank so both return line are the same length. I am using an Eheim 1262 pump at 900 gph at 5ft high and 4 ft in both left and right returns. Thank you,

A T is most definitely going to reduce your pumps efficiency.
But a Y,it's not the easiest thing to find unless going online.I used a T for over a year in my 55 similar to what you have and didn't have any issues.
