Well, this is personal preference really. Something like 60 gallons will do the trick.
Then again any size will work really. Just go with something that suits your needs. Make sure the tub has about 12" of space above the substrate layer to give the little fellas room to grow. Well.. 12".. in that case they wouldn't really be little fellas would they 
Also.. something with NON transparent sides is generally good... then your fruits will grow towards the light.. which will be up.

You know, I've never thought of using a small computer for FAE. How will you get it into the holes?

isn't the point of a monotub so you don't have to bother w/ fae? the holes let it drain out... its worked just fine for me so far

You need air flow in the space that the tub is setting in to have FAE in the tub.
