oh trust me im going to take my time with this. i just cant wait to get my first fish maybe a clown or fire fish what would you do first?
oh when i get a fire fish it will be more then one i have been told the more you have the more they are out and about
so i think im going with the clown frist
ok so i was just over at my buddys and this is the first time i have been over in about 6 months but he has a eel with a clown? is that ok i mean he said he has had it for abour 4 months and he dont mess with emo(the clown) what do you think?
Eels are known to eat whatever they can get 
prob. a snowflake, they are know to be passive , but have a tendancy to just start tearing things up.. Most all Morays are the same way, but then again I have seen SF's that are great reef creatures, but they would outgrow a 45 eventually

yeah well i plan on bigger tank and have a 55gal in the works but it will have to wait till i get the 29 gallon gone
do you think the fire fish would be ok lol i know im going back and forth but hey atleast im asking before i do it lol
As long as the top was secure and make sure they can't go carpet surfing.. I think thew next fish I but will be a pair of purple FF.

I had a roommate in college add a snowflake eel to my tank while I was gone one weekend and it picked at every fish in my tank except for my female Clarki, who picked at him. He ate a ton and that means you are going to have higher nitrates, unless you keep up with your water changes. I would stick with the list that you came up with earlier.
Just my 2 cents.

I don't see why your first fish couldn't be a pair. Just don't add a bunch of fish at once.
My first fish (33 - gallon) were two yellow-tail damsels. I still have them a year later and they're model citizens in my tank, even after being moved twice, from a 33 to a 55 and then from the 55 to a 90, but others have had experience with them turning mean.
I would think a pair of clowns (small) or a pair of firefish (small) would be fine.
Fish to avoid until tank is more established would be:
filter feaders (sand-sifting gobies/mandarins/etc)
six line wrasse (they like to eat pests of which you probably don't have any yet)
pygmy/dwarf angels (they like to graze on LR and you probably don't have much algae growth yet)
