Hi guzzler, Welcome to Reefland!

I would include a protein skimmer in the design. Get something good like an AquaC Remora, don't hold back dollars on the skimmer.

Lighting for the tank should be determined by the coral you plan to keep. Soft corals and Large Polyped Corals will require PC or VHO. SPS, clams or a mixture including these will require Metal Halides. For a 29 gallon, a single 250w would be nice.

I agree. I use a 250 watt XM bulb on a single 29 gal. Perfect coverage.
