This was my once Betta tank

Which included a heater....25watts

I see cycling tank with ammonia up to 8ppm. That is not suitable for a Betta, or any fish in that fact. Water changes every other day does not have the ammonia get any higher then 0.10ppm.

I tend to disagree.

Read the posts.... By keeping the betta where it is and doing daily/when needed water changes, the ammonia definately isn't gonig to get to a toxic level, and I'm sure there will be enough for some bacterial growth. Whereas your moving to a 1g method is basically the same, but with more stress to the fish, faster ammonia buildup, no filter etc...
