You'll need around 15 to 18 gallons of res.
15 would work fine as long as you're able to watch it and top off regularly, if not go a little bigger.

I'll use 18 gallons to be on the safe side. Did you use a formula to figure out the res size?

I was going to look up the formula, but in that link it tells you it has a 10 gallon capassity, so I add 5 gallons to keep the pump under water while flooding and to allow for a lottle evape over a short period of time.
If I run across the formula tomorrow I'll post a link here.
