At least 30 gallon. The bigger the better really though (within reason). Less res changes, less fluctuations. They also help regulate room temperature, especially at lights on/off time. I woulkd also recommend an air pump and stone and/or a powerhead pump. Personally, i run both. In winter i add an aquarium heater.

Make sure its nice and thick you dont want your res to bust. It really only takes one little weak spot in the mold and swoosh you got 30 gallons of water on the floor. You can go to a horse feed store and get a blue 55 gallon food grade drum usually around 40.00 bucks
