If I plumbed like the diagram below, would it be hard for the water to be pushed upwards through the vertical T split?
I plan on making Donnovan's Nitrate Destroyer and placing it inside the tank so I need a flow going into the DND but I'm not sure if I could T off the return plumbing (like the picture above) or if I should just get a separate small pump for it. The flow rate needed for this is very low but it should be able to pump the water high enough (about 15cm above the water surface?). I don't have much knowledge in physics and I have no idea how viable or not this is with the other end of the horizontal pipe open.
The best way would be to actually try it but I wanted to get any feedback I can before I get the stuff needed.
The picture below is a very simplified image of how it might be plumbed.
