Can I get some feedback on my return line plumbing before I cement anything. The PVC all be red, mocking up with the white. The capped piece is where I plan to run a gate valve to make a one outlet “manifold” for a media reactor. The return pump is a Current USA EFLUX (DC) rated for up 1900gph for my 50g tank so I’m hoping having enough flow won’t be an issue. Please share your thoughts, I am clueless when it comes to plumbing.

Looks OK to me.
 
I'd add a ball valve to the output too either close it when not in use or to help moderate flow when needed a gate valve seems overkill?
 
You might consider a valve after the manifold so you can force more water through that line if necessary.
