I think you should check your math again.
24x16x17= 6528
6528/231= 28roughly. I rounded it to 29.
I always browse through garage sales around here. No good stuff yet though. Though I don't even have the space for anymore tanks. 
And as far as a centerpiece fish goes..you could always gets a betta. They do well in calm community tanks. Especially with neons.
