We have the Wedding Cake steps which we modified somewhat by cutting extra holes in the sides of the steps to aid water flow. There are two places where we get algae growth: inside the first step where the weights are and under that first step because it sits flat on the pool bottom and there's no circulation there at all.

We do not get any algae creeping out though. We move the steps once a month and brush the bottom. It's really no big deal to do.

We also fabricated step weights using PVC tubes filled with sand. Three fit inside the bottom step and three are suspended with electical ties from the top step. Here are some photos: http://www.ellerbach.com/Pool/
