I have a biocube 14 with live rock, mushrooms, ricordia, pulsing zenia, green star polyps, yellow polyps, zoos, macro algaes, snails and a few little gobies. I have left the set-up as supplied with no modifications and just do water changes. It is awesome and a lot lower maintenance than my wifes 180g with all her specialty corals. So I would say a 29g would even be better for a starting point. Just do your research before sticking things in. www.nanoreef.com has some helpful tips for setting up such tanks.

I like these little bio cubes. The only thing that makes a smaller system more difficult is the fact that a lower water volume translates into less stability. If something goes wrong in the tank, there is less water to "absorb" it, for lack of a better word.
But I say go for it! Just read up first and ask lots of questions. And be willing to test your water more regularly than, say, someone with a bigger system might.

In a tank that small, I would change a couple gallons every week.

Is there a formula to calculate the number of fish/shrimps/stars/clams ets for a fishtank? A clown is a must
 And is it safe to have other fish around if I put an amneone to host my clown? How do I make sure it doesn't eat the other fish?Jenna

I would recommend a Bubble Tip Anemone (BTA). Probably your best chances for survival, and aren't really known to eat fish. Other anemones (which would be entirely unsuitable to a tank of that size) do eat fish.
In a tank that size I would keep two or three fish (ones that won't get too big). A clown is ok for sure. Perhaps a chromis or damsel....a goby perhaps. I would stay away from starfish as they generally don't have a very good survival rate (except for, perhaps, brittle starfish).

Too bad, I really wanted a starfish
 What about clams? Are they even fun to look at? I've seen some pictures of beautiful clams and I've seen some at Big Al's - didn't like them, they are brown and I want something more pretty.What about snails and shrmps?
