I believe we get all three. Which is best? - Open to individuals opinion probly, or opinion based on perceived personal experience or application for efficacy. Nano - Most literature I've found indicates between1-100nm in size, but this apparently applies to spherical shapes. I don't believe we produce spherical shapes in the home. The clusters of atoms forming 'particles' would be of random shapes I believe, not necessarily true spheroids. I consider them more crystal like in shape...in nano scale. Colloid - Again, most literature I've found indicates anything below/under 1 micron in size can be termed a colloid. Ionic - An ion is the smallest matter can be reduced in size before it loses its identity as that 'matter'. Soooooo, all in all, we have mostly Ionic immediately after it's produced, and for every hour thereafter some of those Ions will continually collide with each other forming atomic clusters of ions, which are termed 'particles', and the ratio of ions to particles changes until a point of solution stability is reached over time. Depending on how large those particles grow or become, they can still be classed as 'nano' in my book. N.

I am getting confused of which of the three is best. I know when we home brew we get mostly ionic and just a little colloidal. How about nano, none? Thanks.
