I used it on a 125 with a 90 gallon sump and it worked very well.
I'm sure it would work well on anything around a 125, might be to much for anything less than a 55.
I'm still trying to find the specs for it.

Talked to the manufacturer and was told it's a Reef Devil 3, Stock it's rated at 80 to 130 Gallons, With the Beckett Injection it works much better than the stock down draft configuration.

A down draft skimmer pulls air and water into the skimmer body and in the case of this skimmer it used mini bio balls to break the bubbles into smaller bubbles.
Beckett injection uses a Beckett nozzle that as the water passes thru it it draws air thru it also, as the air passes thru the injector it is broken up into very fine bubbles.
Here (http://ozreef.org/diy_plans/protein_skimmers/beckett_injector_housing.html) is a link that shows what it looks like.
The bio balls did a decent job of producing small bubbles but over time they would become clogged. To clean them meant removing the skimmer from the system and dumping out the bio ball and cleaning them.
The beckett nozzle takes about two minutes to remove from the top of the skimmer and cleans easily.
The Beckett also produces more and smaller bubbles making the skimmer more efficient
