NDOC FAQs

A collection of answers to some of the most common questions we get asked at Aquarium Connections.

What is NDOC testing, and how does it differ from ICP testing?
NDOC testing specifically analyses nitrogen and dissolved organic carbon levels, providing insights into complex organic compounds in seawater, which are critical for nutrient management and resolving issues like tissue necrosis or bacterial blooms.
How does the Triton Ratio (N:C: P) help manage nutrient levels?
The Triton Ratio (Nitrogen: Carbon: Phosphorus) helps balance nutrient levels in the aquarium, minimizing risks such as algae blooms and tissue necrosis by maintaining optimal ratios for healthy biological processes.
What types of problems can NDOC testing help solve?
NDOC testing can help troubleshoot common problems like algae blooms, cyanobacteria, nuisance bacteria, and coral tissue necrosis by identifying nutrient imbalances.
How often should I conduct NDOC testing?
NDOC testing can be done periodically, especially when you notice persistent issues like algae growth, tissue loss in corals, or an increase in nuisance bacteria.
