    Do you guys use buffers for 29 gallons? Do you recommand it?
    for a year now I have not used a single buffer, but I always was curious
    if I should buy it or not. If I should is there an All in one buffer dose?

    It really depends on your water change schedule and volume. If you are experiencing pH issues there are many ways to overcome them, open the top, make sure circulation agitates the surface well as well as using buffers. There is no all in one because alkalinity and calcium and magnesium will precipitate out if dosed together.
