I was originally planning to upgrade to a 50g, but I have priced it out and decided it would be too expensive, so I was thinking about changing the display to a 29g and changing the fuge to a ~30g rubbermaid sump. I was wondering what people thought about this?

I was also panning to upgrade the lighting from 4 24 watt T5 bulbs to 4 40 watt ones, and keeping mostly LPS w/ some zoas and softys. the fuge will have no sand but the display will have a 1.5-2" DSB.

for fish stocking I was thinking
1 female ocellaris clown (already have, if I can find a healthy looking male Ill get her a mate)
1 blenny (most likely bicolor)
1 yellow coris wrasse or filimented flasher wrasse
shrimp goby and a pistol shrimp
1 purple firefish

I am planning to have about 50 lbs of LR in the display (at least 40) and any extra rock will go into the sump (likely as rubble) I will also ahve cheato in the sump, a heater, and a coralife super skimmer. dose this sound okay? maybe in a year or 2 Ill do a bigger SW.

should be fine for what you want to keep.

should be okay, it depends largely on the type of LR.
