How much is too much ? (Daily phosphate dosing)

[Katze]

Hello everyone !
PO4:0.00-0.04
NO3:<25 -> desired level is 10-20 for LPS-Softy tank
My phosphates get to 0 rather swiftly, so I am dosing (NaPO4) so far I increased 0.01 ppm/day which wasn't enough while battleing with nitrates I always ended up at 0.00

So I'd like to ask, that what's the maximal amount of phosphates one could dose / day in ppm ?
How much do you dose ?

I was dosing neophos way over the recommended in a day to keep them measurable. I was doing the recommended dose for a day up to 5 times a day to keep it up to .02

Eventually it will stop depleting so rapidly, this can take time with dry rock and sand.

However, it may not be necessary to put in that much for the purpose of making it measurablr, perhaps going up to double and still getting .00 reading is fine since the tank IS getting phosphate.

I've had a lot of standard nuisance algaes months and months after dosing that much, but nothing that the pods didn't like so while my tank was what most would consider ugly, it was great for the microbiome.

There's no particular max amount, but foods are adding much more than you are dosing, so adding up to 0.1 ppm per day is a fine plan until it comes detectable 24 h later.
