Calcium and alkalinity kits do not show this. When the C:N:P (Redfield) ratio is off, you can get RTN\/STN, bacterial blooms, brown tissue, cyano, or dinoflagellates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eICP measures minerals. N-DOC measures the organics ICP misses, and splits nitrogen and carbon into numbers you can act on (ppb).
