Questions on doing a recirc mod on my G3.

Hey guys....
I think I am going to go ahead and recirc mod my G3. I do have a couple of questions. Will the Sedra 5000 work as the recirc pump or would it be best to go with something more powerful (or less powerful)? Also...I have a Mag 12 for my return pump on my 180. What kind of GPH feed pump should I use for the G3? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Jim

Cool....thanks. I was going to mesh mod it in the next day or two and make sure the mesh mod was working properly and then recirc mod it. My plan was to use the Sedra 5000 as the recirc pump and a maxijet 1200 for the feed pump.
