Nope its not too small at all. Filtration and knowledge has come a long ways in the past few years. Pretty much all I do is add fresh water to keep the tank topped off, scrape the algae off the glass and clean the filters once a week.
When the tank is going thru its cycle its much more intensive, you have to really monitor the ammonia and nitrite levels daily and keep salt water ready to change if the levels are too high, or you risk killing alot of stuff in the tank. But after those levels drop and the nitrate level comes up, its pretty easy.
29 gallon 'nano reef' tanks are becoming quite popular now. Some people even report keeping 15 gallon nano reef tanks.
