I have a 180 clown fish harem w/30 clown fish and 15 anemones
ALK 12.81
Cal 462
mag 1207
SaL 1.025
PHO 1.67
nitrates .50

I want to reduce my ALK what is the best way
 
Either change salt or when you prepare new saltwater, use a little bit of muriatic acid and an airstone for twenty four hours to bring the alk down to a more reasonable level.
 
Do you have SPS in your tank or other corals? If not, you can switch to a cheaper salt like Reef Crystals because anemones don’t typically need elevated levels.
 
it is red sea blue bucket i check
 
Maybe the salt has separated in the bucket?
Not much help now, but you could try rolling the bucket around then mixing up another small batch to see if that fixes it going forward.
