mnreefman, I use flexible pvc, it will take some of your 90's out of your design. You can get a lot of your plumbing from http://www.aquaticeco.com. They have everything you're gonna need to finish your project. I agree with Dennis7 I would use a y instead of a tee. I looked for a y part # but they don't carry them so you'll have to get those from the link he gave you. If you still want to use a tee put the tee as high as you can, I would put it above the top edge of the tank. This will reduce the head created by the tee. You can also get ball valve/unions there that will thread right onto the pump all one piece which will also reduce your head pressure. I also agree with Craig don't use any brass, copper, or bronze, if you want to use any metal it should be high quality stainless steel ( there are different grades of stainless ). Here's a list of all the part #'s below.

1/2" flex pvc. Part # fpp12 .65/ft.
3/4" flex pvc. part # fpp13 .80/ft
1/2" Ball/union valve Part # pbv123 $6.85
3/4" ball/union valve part # pbv133 $6.85
