No such thing as overkill on filtration IMO. On my 27g I've got a turnover of 150gph from a HOB and another 525gph from a canister. So 675gph on a 27g tank, 25 times per hour 100% turnover. It's not necessary, but there is really no such thing as overkill. The better the filtration the happier your fish will be, in general, and the cleaner your water will be.Eheims are good, just make sure not to get the pro ones. Those are the only ones that are terrible. Fluval is also good. 200-300 gph is way overkill for a 29g. 100gph should be enough IMO.
Diy co2 usually ends up with more problems and is not as efficient as pressurized. But it is a lot cheaper. You could go for a pressurized paintball system which is more than enough for a 29g.
