I am considering setting up a 29 g planted tank what are the pros and cons and what kind of plants should i have in it? Also, i was going to use this as a hospital/ quarantine tank will that work?

I agree that a planted hospital tank probably isn't the best option for setting one up. Low tech is most definitely the cheapest route to go.

Choose plants like java fern, java moss, Cryptocoryne spp., Anubias spp. and you wont need much other than somewhat decent lighting and MAYBE occasional ferts depending on your water and stock.
