What is your alk and magnesium at? Are you dosing anything to raise calcium? I would aim for 400 to 440 calcium. But make sure the big three alk mag and calcium are balanced.
You can lower the calcium with water change or let the tank naturally consume it. I would not make a drastic change though.

yeah. I would check your magnesium....calcium could start to participate. if mag is high u will be ok. some salts mix to 500. the one I use does

There is not much you can do but wait for it to be consumed. Are you dosing or using a calcium reactor?

A water change will help , I accidentally dosed calc instead of alk . My tank sucked up 20ppm a day and I did a water change that brought it down slightly
