I usually at least quadruple the amount of water in my rez in relation to what I need to fill.  You can't really get too big of a reservoir.  When I had DWC buckets going I used 6 5 gallon buckets and had a res. of more than 100 gallons.  But i also change it out at least once a week.This way you really never have to deal with too big of a swing in the pH or PPM.  Just be diligent about checking it every day.


Also the larger the reservoir you have the more stable the temperature of your water.  Which is also VERY important.

In my opinion thats too small of a res.  Can you get away with it??  Sure.  But be extra diligent about monitoring your parameters man. 


How many plants will you have in your table??

You said your ebb and flow table is a little over 20 gallons What are the dimensions of it though??


Regardless of that, your times are going to vary throughout your grow.  Most people do 15 minutes on, and then x amount of time off.  But there is no real set structure whatsoever.  It's all going to depend on the stage at which your plants are at, as well as how many there are, the size of the table, the environmental conditions in your grow space, i.e temp, humidity etc.  So run it for 15 min. then see how long it takes to get relatively dry.


I hate to tell ya this but your just going to have to figure it out as you go along.  And on your next grow you will have more plants in there so it wont be the same next time either.  This is one reason i don't like Ebb and Flow systems compared to DWC.  They're so much more time intensive.
