is this a good skimmer. will it take care of a 29 gallon or possibly 2 20 gallons with a common sump?

i have the chance to get the normal one used though. can you put a mag three on a normal one or is the whole thing different

I imagine if you put a mag 3 on a non-pro skimmer you'll get tons of micro bubbles. I'd stick to the Maxi-Jet 1200.

You'll want to make sure it's level. As in actually put a level on it, back, top, side.
