I'd question that result. Retest, or try another kit. at that level, I would expect it to precipitate from solution.

check your Alk and Mg too.
IF your alk or Mg is not in proper proportions, its probably not using the calcium up properly hence the higher readings.

I don't know who Jesus Murphy is but he sure put a lot of calcium in your tank.. Although I too would question that result. It would be worth while to get a second opinion at least. Borrow someone's test kit (of a different brand perhaps), and test to verify the result.
