I too have the problem of ALK and CAL being too high.  I use AquaCraft Biosea and out of the bucket, I get ALK levels of 7 and CAL levels of 450 very consistantly between bags.  Somehow over the last 3 months, my tank has crept up to ALK of 9-10 and CAL of 500.  I use both Salifert and Hagen test kits with similar results. I don't have a reactor and I don't dose for Calcium or ALK. 
 
Any suggestions would be great.
