One of my tanks is a 28 gallon bow. In there I have two false percs, a bicolor blenny, a bubble tip anemone, a brittle star, a couple of cleaner shrimp, a couple of emerald crabs, a few hermits and snails, a toadstool leather coral, and an assortment of zoanthids and mushrooms. All are healthy and well.
The key with any tank, but I think especially for a smaller tank like this, is to go slow! I started out with a small cleanup crew for a few months after my cycle, then added the perculas, and then slowly added various other critters. I've certainly lost some things along the way (when in doubt, leave it out), but all in all it has been a very stable healthy little setup.
Best of luck!

Try to add any other fish after 6line and you will see how aggrassive they are. Problem with gramma and 6line they are both bossy fishes 2 bosses in 29g you will have some problems. But at the end its your tank i am just giving you advise with my experience with those fishes. Good luck.

For your stocklist:
Clowns
Shrimp gobies
Randall's Goby
Firefish (personally I like the purple one, but they are a little more expensive)
Clown Goby
Neon Goby
Jawfish (entertaining to watch...unfortunately they are jumpers, make sure you have a lid or some other cover, eggcrate, etc....I lost mine cause it jumped and I had no cover)
Lawnmower Blenny
Longnose Hawkfish (pretty cool)...don't have a swim bladder, so they tend to just swim long enough to find somewhere to perch
Personally, other than green chromis (because it is cool to see a school of them), I stay away from Damsels. Royal Gramma's are cool, I have never had any experiece with them, but have seen them returned several times at a LFS because they were rather nasty...Good luck...
i definitely agree on the firefish as well! i have a purple firefish and i love her! AMAZING colors with the lights on and she's always right out front and center. not a heavy swimmer so she handles my 24gal pretty well

I have a a royal gramma, 2 green chromis, 1 yellow tail blue damsel, a shrimp and some cleaner crew in my nano (its smaller than 29). I had a small coral beauty that we got to put in our larger tank...I put her in the small one while we are waiting for the 55g to cycle, the gramma (though my favorite in the tank) took a big ol' bite out of her tail within a couple of days. Unfortunately she(the coral beauty) was sick within 2 days of getting her and despite all my efforts (didn't have a QT then, now I do) she died of some disease (cloudy eye type of thing)
I am just hoping when we move her (the gramma) to the 55g with the other new fish (I am looking at a fairy wrasse and maybe a flame angel and something else to add to the 4 I have) that she is not as aggressive because I want the other fish to be happy, her and the damsel are a site to watch!
