Questions - Need some input

So I finally got me a alk test from Selifert. I tested all the parameters I have test kits for. Here is what I got:

SG 1.25
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate >5ppm
Calcium 300ppm
alk <14 dkh
Magnesium No test kit yet

So I did a water change of about 15% hoping this will help drop the alk a bit. I have been using a Kent Marine two part for two ...

Alright, so I got all my auto top off parts in yesterday. I have some 1/4" acrylic and I want to cut a 2" wide strip and make two bends in it to make the bracket for the float switches. I have a propane torch that I was thinking of using to heat up the material. Would this be alright?

I have a question about the wet assembly on my vortech. On one side or quarter of the wet assembly there is a section that does not have grills/it is solid. Which direction should this face or does it matter?

My toadstool leather that I got on Saturday is not looking so good today and yesterday.

Sunday

Yesterday and today
