Yeah, your calcium is about +120 too high.

Would adding alk lower it?

Your alkalinity is actually at a nice range, so I'd be more inclined to stop dosing calcium (if you are) and let it drop naturally with subsequent water changes.

I do not believe corals have any negative response to calcium at that level.
