+1 - check against another kit, both CA and Alk. It *could* be that your alk test kit is waaaaay off instead.

Further questions:
- what salt are you using? (Purple lid Instant Ocean has low ca/alk/mag)
- what salinity are you mixing it up to? (normal 'reef' would be: 35ppm == 1.0265sg == 53ms)
- what equipment are you using to measure your salinity?
- when was that equipment last calibrated? how?
