I have a biocube as well as several other tanks and to be honest i think the cube is a great beginner tank. You dont have to stress over lighting cause the stock lighting can keep alot of decent corals while getting a T5 light for coral on a 20-29g is gonna run you over $100 alone.
I will admit i took out the bioballs in my cube and added a media and a fuge tray system. i bought mine used for like $50 but it runs about $80 new. here's the link for it
BioCube 29 - Aquarium Filtration Upgrades & Supplies
I think 2 clowns and 2 other small fish would be excellent stocking. Plus you can put a bunch of inverts in too.
I am currently overstocked in my cube, lol, planning an upgrade in a month or two but i have in mine:
2 b&w clowns
firefish
yellow watchman goby
citron goby
scooter dragonet
a blue ORA mandarin
I have 3 peppermint shrimp, one cleaner shrimp and maybe 10-15 nassarius snails ( too many but I love when they come out for feeding lol) a turbo snail and about 4 hermits.
My tank has been up for about 8 months and was pretty much setup with rock from my other tanks. I have only added a few corals so i can't really attest to the lighting but what i have added has done well.
Hope that helps some!
