I put my phosphate reactor online last week with a 1/4 cup of phosguard. My alkalinity before was 8.3 now it's holding steady at 7. I dosed 10 ml of a baking soda mix 1 1/4 soda to 1 gallon of water.How soon will I see results if I dose 10 ml a day?
 
Try bumping it up to 20 ml a day and see what that does. Your tank could be consuming it as fast as you add it.
 
You need to figure out how much your tank Is consuming. Go to the brs reef calculator and find out how much you need to add to get level where you want it. Then go 3 days without dosing and retest divide results by 3 and that will tell you your daily consumption. Then you can go back to the calculator and it will tell you how much to add each day to maintain.
