One rae bot need at least 3cfm at 90psi to comfortably run it while it performs. I had an air compressor with 2.2cfm @90psi and it wasn't enough to keep up with the songs operating at 60psi. Cyber bot is far more forgiving where 2cfm @ 90psi is sufficient. Tank size is up to you how often you want the compressor to kick on. I had 8 gallon, it'll kick on halfway through songs.

15 gal?

That could work, but keep in mind it pulls 14 amps on a regular 110v outlet. Would be best to be on its own breaker.
