In terms of fish, a 29 gallon tank would be best housed for a community fish tank (gouramies, tetras, barbs, etc.). I would not recommend this for a saltwater tank unless you plan on getting a better filter, upgraded lighting, and all the ancillary equipment needed for a saltwater tank (skimmer, powerhead, live rock, air pump, proper heater, etc.). I also would not recommended cichlids, as you'd be limited to very few species and a small quantity of them. Cichlids need quite a bit of space to swim around (esp africans) and 29g may not be wide enough.
The kicker here is that the plants need to be actively growing (photosynthesizing) and not be in some degree of decay. With the lights that come with the tank, this will a bit questionable. You should be able to grow some undemanding ones, like Java Ferns, Mosses, Cryptocorynes... but the fast growers like Hygrophila, Rotalas etc will not grow optimally.
Check out plantedtankdotnet for more information.
alkalinity in an of itself is no an issue if you raise say livebearing fish. again a few fish introduced to a tank will not build ammonia to levels that are toxic
Makes me want to get this aquarium. These are so pretty.
Freshwater takes 2-4 weeks to cycle. Familiarize yourself with the "nitrogen cycle". You should NEVER use ammonia reducing pellets. Ammonia will go away on its own once your tank is cycling. You should test this with a test kit to ensure 0 ammonia and nitrites before adding fish. Nitrates are not so important in a fish only FW tank. But some species are sensitive to nitrates so do your research before adding fish and of course test the water! The biggest source of nitrates is canister filters with overfeeding being a close 2nd. Add fish 2 or 3 at a time and let the tank adjust to the new bio-load before the next addition. Again, test the ammonia and nitrites.
I would NOT suggest this for Saltwater unless you already have a saltwater tank that you are successful with. This size for SW for a newbie is a recipe for failure. Which will turn you off to SW before you get a chance to start.
But is this really the image the website provides? It is horrible. It looks like something is missing.

1. Do I need a water line hooked up to this? If so, how do you go about getting one? lol...
2. Would this tank stink like some fish tanks do?
3. What kind of maintenance is required for this other thank feeding fish?

With that said, I actually think this is a good deal if you were looking to set up a freshwater tank. As long as you weren't planning on adding larger fish like cichlids, oscars, or arrowanas.
1. Do I need a water line hooked up to this? If so, how do you go about getting one? lol...
2. Would this tank stink like some fish tanks do?
3. What kind of maintenance is required for this other thank feeding fish?
2. Yes, if you get a cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) infestation, and/or don't change water enough, have it overstocked with fish, don't clean the filter, and overfeed.
3. Regular waterchanges with dechlorinated water of like temperature. Sometimes you might have to clean the substrate, you use a gravel vac that goes into a bucket for that. You will clean/change the cartridges if you buy the (not so good) filter that comes with it.
See my earlier post about the questionable value of this deal...

2. It shouldn't stink as long as you clean it regularly and replace the filter pads as suggested with the instructions.
3. Beyond feeding them, you would need to do partial water changes. This involves purchasing something called a gravel vacuum that siphons water from the tank and into a bucket. You do this to remove detritus from the bottom of the tank. The frequency of cleanings depends on the amount of fish and how often you feed them. You would also want an algae pad to remove algae from the glass and some test kits to check your water parameters to ensure its safe for your fish.

testing the water regularly and aquarium salt (yes even for fresh water you need a bit)
