Default Emergency... mistake while dosing!!!

Hi all,

So this is my first time dosing Ca/Alk and I made a biiiiiig mistake!!!

After I put one (LARGE) cup of Calcium Chloride mix that I just created and one (LARGE) cup of Baking Soda mix that I also just created, I measured both Ca and Alk to see where I am sitting at.... My reading were 550 for Calcium and 19 for Alk!!!!

How bad is this? How can I solve it? Is it ok to leave the system as is until these two get depleated?

Will this kill any of my animals??? please let me know.

Thanks

My tank (72gal) inhabitants are:
2 clowns
2 tangs
1 chromis
1 shrimp
a number of snails and crabs.

Corals etc:
2 maxima clams
1 med. brown acro
2 small caps
candycane
moon coral
branching hammer
open brain

xenia
finger leather
large anemone
