Welcome to TR, Plasticreefer.

Should I assume normal T8 flourescent lights since almost every "new" 29g I see lately has an Eclipse hood?

Xenia (placed higher up in the tank), Sarcophytons (Toadstool leathers), Colt corals, and many Zoanthids. If you have fairly powerful lighting (multiple PC/T5, or MH) and good water quality you can simply buy small coral "frags" cheaply and let them grow in your tank (you won't see fast growth under normal output flourescent lighting).

PS. If my assumption about the Eclipse hood was correct, take out the BIO-wheel and replace your filter cartridge often (or buy bulk polywool instead) or even a deep sand bed won't be able to keep up with the nitrate production.
