How small is the eel?

it will be like six inches. also if i do fowlr, can i have clowns and a anemone

Anemones require a good deal of high output light. Also, eels are aggressive fish and not so compatible with smaller fish. I would not put the eel in a small tank for a yr. Best to decide if you want an aggressive tank or a tank with small fish. The two are not really compatible.

the eel will be in there for five months at least. the tank wont be setup for a month or 2. how much does it cost too setup a 29 or fifty?

I would say no. Putting a predator in a small tank with small fish is just a recipe for disaster.
