Why a weekly 50% WC is better than two weekly 25% WCs

You use red dye to compare with living organism, and you think that's a "better way to visualize it?" Red dye is constant, while fish produce waste, a variable, unknown matter...
Formula is not mathematically proven! Formula is symbol and relation. Formula has unknown variable...

if you actually read what you quoted you would see that i addressed this point already....

the ppms/day doesn't matter, it could be any # or even a fluctuating #. it still does not change the results.

a tank with 1 50% will have the same max ppms as 2 25% but the average will be lower in the tank with 1 50%wc. what is everyone not getting?

With all due respect, it looks like your mind was way too open that your brain fell out...

try reading the data instead of trying to insult me and maybe you won't look so silly.

What about the fact that water changes with gravel vaccing remove more nitrates than skimming off the top?

what does that have to do with the formula? nobody is arguing what you're saying.

When the larger/longer vs smaller/shorter WC horse stops moving; I'll post my 2 vs 4 filter charts in a new thread that show how more filtration (mechanical) can actually increase nitrates. That has the potential to generate some more lively debate.

Keep in mind this forum is both educational and entertaining. I, for one, like a good argument along with some name calling. Some of the "you're a moron" responses make me laugh. It's all good.

Plz do I'm looking forward to see that threads and I am on the same boat with u

no, it is a mathimatically proven fact.

like flipping a coin has a 50-50 chance of landing on any particular side. it's mathematically proven. you could test it by flipping a coin 1,000,000X and counting the # of heads and tails but you don't really need to.

Only if you promise to argue with me and debunk my theory......lol.

LOL
Bring up ur theory and I will argue it with my fact and you will never win because I has 5 fx5s for my 1 gallon betta show tank

I see where you posted that it doesn't matter what # of ppms you use but that is exactly my point. There are more variables to this case that an excel spreadsheet can't encompass. Is it nice to look at and a good guideline...yes. A proven fact....I think not.

And though I may disagree with your idea, I don't see the need for all the name calling(not directed at you but all that are posting like this).
We are all here to learn and enjoy our hobby. I like the debate because it opens us all up to new ideas.

such as? what variable could possibly change the established fact that 1 50% wc will dilute better than 2 25% cw's?

the answer is.... none.

if you take 2 = tanks (no matter the size, bio-load, type of fish or any other variable) and you change 50% of the water in one of those tanks and 25% x2 in the other, the tank with the 50% wc will have less dissolved ANYTHING on average and the same exact maximum amount of dissolved anything as the other tank.

the 50% tank will be more diluted (less pollution) every single time.

NOTHING will change that fact.
