Ideal calcium levels are about 400-450ish
You could have such high calcium readings because you have no corals consuming it. Wait til you add corals. Then again, if you're unsure of the ideal calcium levels for a reef tank, I think you've got a bit of reading to do before adding anything!

well 640 is a bit high the Cal should be around 425-450 and the alk at 8-11DKH or 3.5-4.5 Meg /per l
So just let the corals consume the cal until down to 450 or you can always per a water change to bring it down , But its should hurt it. If you run the Calcuim lever high on the tank your pumps will start to get affected by the high CAL. hth
