I agree with Coleus, Magnesium is really low, but so is your ALK (way too low). But as Coleus said, take care of your Mg first, then slowly adjust ALK over the next week or so.

Try to lower your calcium to 400-420 max, this should also help with your PH, which is fine, but should be closer (if not) 8.3
