The fuge. The drain is forcing the algae under the cup. Is this okay? If not how should I fix it? Egg crate separation or something else?

Water params using Salifert for all tests.
Alk - 7.7
Calc - 500
Ph - 8
Mag - 1350
Nitrate - 25
Phos - 0.5

was dosing Alk every other day to keep at 9 but now increased it to daily. Other params are in line with my last test in July. Mag, calc and Phos did rise a little.

If you are looking to increase alk. I take 2 1/4 cups of baking soda and bake in oven at 300 for an hour then make a gallon solution. Baking it converts it and makes it more potent.
I used to do that but got lazy; ESV is much easier and not pricey.

Picked up these two flags this weekend no clue what they are but liked the color. The first is type of Davis , I think. Second has pink polyps.
