Dosing my tank with Red Sea supplements. Apex and DOS's. Introduced a dozen or so soft corals and a few small fish about a month ago. Left alone, ALK drops to 7.5, CA stays at 560 and MG is about 1250. I am dosing 35mls ALK and 10mls MG every 24 hrs. I have not been adding CA because it's already too high. I have been adding 1-1.5 tsp's of Baking Soda daily and it has brought ALK up to 9.5 and CA is still at 560.
Besides adding Baking Soda everyday, what can I do to keep the levels where they should be ?

Sounds like you're on to a good start. You might also want to factor in your water changes if you're of that mindset when it comes overall parameter stability.
