Default Paludarium Filter Setup Question

I am in the early stages of building up a paludarium. I started with a 90 gallon aquarium and siliconed in a 12” tall plexiglass partition half way back. So the bottom half of the tank is split for water in the front and soil in the back. I bought and plan to use a Rena Filstar XP2 canister filter for the aquarium part. In the picture (if the attachment is there and you can see it...), you will see that I have dry fitted in ˝ inch CPVC pipe to send the filtered water to a spray bar in the front bottom center of the tank (holes to be aimed at 45 degrees up) and split the return pipe so that the tank water enters the filter system from two places – the left and right back corners of the tank. Does this seem like a good arrangement? Any suggestions? Thanks…
