How is this conversation even occuring without discussing the VOLUMES of seed water needed with respect to the target volume of water to be changed?
In my tank "two buckets" of the smallest possible buckets would likely exceed the total volume of my daily 0.5g water change. At the same time 2 buckets (of any reasonable size) be likely meaningless in a very large (100's of gallons) water change.
Apologies for picking nits... But the fact is that any discussion of the value of such a technique is difficult to divorce from the ratio the seed water to the target volume of water to be changed.
That is to be excepted by the opinion that no ratio of seed water to changed water, no matter how large matters (ex. 99 or 100%).
