I was wondering if there was anything that would make a Mag conserve air better. I know the barrel matters a lot, and I have a DYE Aluminum. I just wondered if there was anything else.

Yes, the barrel is very influental in the use of air:

Porting
paint fit
lenght

I don't know of any other way to mod how much air is used. Reducing the input pressure would use less air, but introduce shootdown........

Just buy a scuba tank ;)

I actually may get a scuba tank. I also have another question. The guage on my Nitro Duck is cracked. Is this going to effect the performance of my tank? I know i have to replace the guage but I am playing tomorrow and the tank is full.

A cracked guage shouldn't affect much. The casing on my Crossfire stub is cracked. It's just flaws in the plastic and do not go all the way thru. If it's fine now, go ahead and use it, but fix it before you play again. Those tanks hold alot of pressure and sometime I get nervous with them tucked under my arm next to my chest. I want mine to be in good working order.

Drain the tank dry before you remove the old guage :D
