For tubing size, there's two things to remember: keep the tubing at max size for the pump inlet (at least), THEN keep the overall flow speed under 5 fps.

Since you've selected the pump, you should have an idea of what kind of flow rate you'll be getting.

Just do the math. Otherwise, try it out with cheap thin-walled vinyl tubing, available for pennies per foot at any hardware store.
