Yes, but in tanks like a non CO2 tank that does not get a water change for
several months, this plays a large role(plants, algae etc).
DOC is a big player there. 
Certain algae are corrleated with higher DOC's in nature.
We rerally do not know about aquariums with high DOC and their effects on
algae species. 

But for gas folks, nawww.
Unless you are lazy and neglect the tank:)
