Howdy,

Do you think I should tee my return so that it has equal runs to each end like so?

Or do you think it doesn't matter and coming straight up is okay?

Personally, I put my tee where it made sense. I didn’t really care that it would be u even, I wanted the plumbing to go a certain way.
But you won’t have equal flow out of the two different returns, you’re correct.
If it does bug you, you put a ball or gate valve on either side of the tee and tune it equally.

I'd rather just make it even. Thanks for the response. I am nervous with the amount of turns already that the flow won't be that great. I calculated I will lose ~ 4.25 feet of head pressure on a sicce 3.0 so I should still be perfect.

That makes sense.
Best of luck getting it all together. I hope it works out well for you. :)

Return is all glued up! Need to let it dry so I can spray paint it all matte black! May be wet by the end of the week :) Thanks again
