your pH is fine, not every tank runs at 8.3 mine has run at 8.0 or less for years with no adverse problems and its a full blown reef tank. Turf the hagen alkalinity test kit they're not the most reliable so I wouldn't stress out about a high alk reading (I didn't even think test kits could read that high) I would imagine your alkalinity is probably fine. In fact I would stop and stop testing altogether for now. Regular water changes will keep everything happy and test say in another 3 waterchanges or more. If you don't actually have anything in the tank that requires elevated calcium and alkalinity levels I wouldn't worry about it.
