How much does it increase per a given amount, and how fast? In the meantime i put a capful in an empty 10 gallon to see how that goes.
 
Raising PH is logarithmic so someone with a PH of 6.0 that uses it to raise the PH to 6.5 would use a different amount than someone raising the PH of 7.0 to PH 7.5. So you just have to experiment with your own water chemistry. Although it's easiest not to mess with PH parameters until you know how to manipulate your buffering capacity (KH value).

Rocksor is spot on with that. Why do you want to increase your pH?
 
I want to get my Neolamop.cygnus to spawn, but they haven't in my 7.7 pH, so I thought raising it a bit would get them in the mood.
