I tested my water and found that my calcium magnesium and alkalinity are abnormal

Alk. 2.1 meq/L , 5.9 dkh
Calcium 750 ish
Magnesium 1600
I used red sea reef foundation pro test kit. How can this effect my reef and what can I do to bring the levels to normal

Start using Instant Ocean Salt
Might bring up your ALK to 7-8
And leave the rest to come down by themselves.
Only number completely out of whack is your Cal, but it too will bring itself down, and from the looks of your tank, won't take to long to do it.
 
I actually did a one falling water change about 2 weeks ago maybe a 3 and the only thing that's different is that I changed from reef crystal to red sea coral pro salt and I dose aqua vitro FUEL
 
I just performed a water change and tested the new water and everything checked out and I noticed the difference the day after everything seemed happier and the levels were close to normal thanks guys , but I did use a different salt from my red sea pro I made a batch of tropic Marin
