I took a sample of seawater and measured it to see conditions where there is abundant life and heavy organic material and contact with the land to see nature's water parameters.
Amazingly the levels were as follows:
NO3 0ppm
KH 8.2
PO4 0 ppm
CA 400 ppm
This was taken from the water at http://www.miamidade.gov/parks/matheson-hammock.asp where there is lots of decaying seaweed. Lots of different microalgae were abundant in very warm water (85+F). Various juvenile fish along with lots of hermit and fiddler crabs were in the area, even found a bright orange sponge.
