Well the stock filter on an Aqua Culture kit isn't going to cut it for a 29 IMO. It's not a great filter anyway. Even with a superior Aqueon 29 kit I still upgrade the filtration. I'm going to recommend you add atleast an AquaClear 30 along with that. I double filter all my tanks 20 gals and up and I can't tell you the difference it makes. If you want to run just the stock filter you'll want to stock real lightly.
