That's why I keep asking you what your phosphate is, it's not just to be annoying. 
Interesting that your dinos are worse after dosing. I don't see that effect, and my alk drops like a rock. (It was 6 this morning for heaven's sake, down from close to 8 2 days ago) Does alk/ca get very low the day before you dose?

Phosphates are not detectible. 0
And nope, no real change in alk or calcium next day
