Awesome, so how do I tweak the Remora inlet.. I'm not very handy, or good with DIY (modding) stuff. What would I buy? I am very interested in doing this.

You should be able to get an adaptor in a plumbing store or from Home Depot.Or you can try a piece of 3/4 OD vinyl hose.Just cut to the proper length and soften up one end in hot water,so you can get it to fit over the pump outlet.Plus 2 hose clamps.

Yup, I just brought the pump with me to a plumbing place and started fiddling with different NPT fittings.

The fitting on the inlet of the Remora itself is actually removable so you can bring that in to experiment with as well.

I got my 3/4" OD hose from some leftover Filstar canister filter hosing I had lying around.

You won't need to add a valve on the Remora if you go with the Mag3, although you can adjust the Hagen surface skimmer in respect of how much water you want to go down the top portion at the surface of the water. I found that the more water that gets sucked down that top inlet the less head pressure is generated by the pump into the skimmer.
