I have a 29gallon tank right now... if i get a 30breeder, does that mean all my filters and such will still work on in?

all you've really done is change the shape of the tank, not the volume that needs to be filtered . . . so, assuming you're properly filtered now, you should be able to use the same filtration on your new tank
exception: this would not be true for a UGF set-up

under-gravel filter . . . they use plates that are fit to the dimensions of the tank . . . I just added that as an after-thought,
Well actually i think im getting a 40g breeder tomorrow so i think ill be upgrading everything! haha!
Be sure to read up on what you need for a reef tank (i.e. protein skimmer, live rock, optional refugium,etc) as filtration is handled differently than other types of tanks.
I'm not an expert by any means but I believe the live rock takes care of the biological filtration, a protein skimmer removes biological 'sludge', and a mechanical element takes care of particles suspended in the water column.

What are you getting at? I'll get a good filter for the 40, the shape of the tank doesn't matter..
