Do you think one of them is using gear pt. 2

The reason I wanted to switch was my current supply of liquidex (non-clifford version) is questionable at best.
I don't like how it constantly crashes out of suspension, I'm not sure the gorillas are getting consistent dosing.
Would you suggest I stick with liquidex but from the orange-red echidna?

I haven't used RUI liquidex but everything else from them has been good so far. I used adex by Pinnacle.
 
I'm not really awake yet, so you can continue to ignore me. I just felt like Smurfette when I got home last night, I'll change back later
 
Here's a question for the big brains.
I know what half life is but what determines the rate of decay of a specific compound?
Molecular weight?

I'm working on trying to find the answer but everyone just wants to define half-life instead :/

Why do you always have great questions?
I would guess molecular weight is a part of it, but I highly doubt it's as simple as that. There's probably multiple factors that come into play.

I ponder quite a bit. :wiggle:

From what I've been reading you're right, there are a few factors that come into play to determine the actual half-life. For pharmacological compounds things like what tissue it's decaying in and where you're looking to find the half-life (serum or plasma or tissue half-life, etc). But there seems to be the constant, the rate of decay of the compound you're looking to find the half-life of.

You mean you have to shake the bottle first? My RUI Cia separates faster then oil and water

It's me but yes.
Every time I go to dose my gorillas the stuff is sitting on the bottom in crystalline form and will not dissolve.
I just try to stir it as best I can and hope that they ingest some crystals.

The CIA separation is much easier to deal with.

Many different half lives but terminal or elimination half life is the amount of time required to reduce serum levels of a certain compound by exactly 1/2. Some factors affecting rate of decay include water, oxygen, temperature, accumulation in tissue, active metabolites, receptor interaction, renal function, liver function, enzyme inducers and a host of other factors.

All the info I could find was in regards to organic tissue decay. I wasn't able to find anything regarding drug compounds which is what it sounds like you are looking for. Granted, I only did a quick google search.
 
I know. I was just saying everyone has said it serves it's purpose. I don't know anything about it coming out of suspension.

A solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more components, it won't "crash" or come out of solution (think sugar and water). A suspension is similar but the components are larger and will often crash or come out of suspension after a while making it necessary to shake or stir to achieve uniform distribution in the suspension (think oil and water).

That's basically what I found, but it was in reference to organic tissue decay. I guess some of these would also come into play for chemical compounds though. Some only when ingested though correct? Like liver function wouldn't come into play on "shelf" half life of a compound would it?

Right, that much I know, what I'm asking and maybe I misunderstood your post was this:

Lets remove as many variables from the equation as possible (water, oxygen, temperature, accumulation in tissue, active metabolites, receptor interaction, renal function, liver function, enzyme inducers are all now constants)
For arguments sake lets just use 2 compounds with different half-lives entering that environment.
One with a half-life of 12 days, the other 4 hours.
What would cause one to decay faster than the other if their environmental conditions are the same?

Essentially separation then? Like alcohol sitting on top of water?

No, that's why there are many different kinds of half life: terminal/elimination, biological/active, shelf life, rate of decay of tissue, nuclear decay, etc.
