With very good care and a bit of extra volume of water change, it's probably OK to keep a GSP in there it's entire life, though a 30 or bigger would be better. If you want to keep your same hood/light/filters/stand etc and upgrade, consider a 37, it's like a 29 but taller, but not enough bigger to really need extra or different equipment.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.
