Well Water
I have since clarified this several times over, including a full explanation of what I meant by the original statement. You do realize that email threads evolve, right? You can’t keep going back to the first message in the thread and insisting that you’re right when further explanations have come to light. I’m gonna walk you through this one more time and then I’m giving up.
I said “Day 1: 100% water change to 1 ounce well, 7 ounce old” and what that means is I will prep a new betta cup by adding 1 ounce well water and 7 ounces water that traveled from old house. I will move the betta to new cup and dump the old cup out. 100% of the water has been changed (as opposed to your example of 12.5%).
Next day, I’ll prep another new cup with 2 ounces well water and 6 ounces water that traveled from old house and move her to that cup. Dump yesterday’s cup of 1/7. And so on.
As you can (hopefully) see, I am not “changing” one ounce of water. I am incrementing the amount of well water used in the full and complete water change by one ounce each time. Under no circumstances would I ever find it acceptable to keep any of the water from an 8 ounce cup at a water change.
NOW do you see the difference? I’m not saying you’re wrong (you’re right about the water changes on a 12.5% change), it is just the 12.5% *does not pertain to me* as I’m switching 100% of the water.
Got it now? If so, I expect an apology for your ridiculously rude attitude. If not, don’t even bother replying because it’ll only lessen my already low opinion of your ability to read.
