I'd suggest you get your Mag inline first, then work on getting your Ca and Alk balanced
Once your mag is 1350-ish, you will have an easier time keeping your alk and ca balanced

agree with above, reactor great to maintain levels but need to get them there by dosing first. When doing water changes, supplement the mix if need before adding to tank. Start Mg first as will hold back the Ca as if low won't be able to hold the the Ca up (~3:1 ratio)
Found when running reactor if pushed it, alk would just spike.

the only one out of wack is the Mg, adjust that first then tune the others, you'll probably find you Ca comes up ager adjusting your Mg, but if not 390 is a perfect level for Ca.
you can raise levels with a Ca reactor also, but it depends on your media your using and how hard you can run the reactor with out your PH dropping in the tank. Steve
