Hi Biologic,Two questions —
Is there any white paper studies for phosphate?
The study attached to my post establishes amino acid and nitrogen uptake for corals in aquaria. We have great methods to measure phosphate and nitrate, but no clear methods to measure more complex organic compounds.
“DFAA quantification was performed using a spectrofluorometer” …is there a way that the home hobbyist to quantify complex organic nitrogen compounds? I wouldn’t even need to have a break down. Even a total quantity would be great. Could water turbidity be used? Better than nothing?
Just restarted my tank after a Hurricane hit 5 months ago. Very excited to get a hold of your product.
Perhaps the N-DOC test from Triton would help here
Edit: I just found Hans-Werner commented on that a few minutes ago
