To confirm, test the new water you make and post the brand of salt and the values. And find a good LFS that will give you better advice.

Salt is instant ocean reef crystals, values are... I dont know? lol
Calcium at a SG 31.ppt salinity of 1.023(which I have) 405 ppm
and magnesium at the same salinity is 1200 ppm
these are the only values I can find..

No, don't find them, measure them. That way you know how accurate your test kit is.

Is there anything wrong with the tanks inhabitants? and the test kit is probably expired or contaminated. If your alkalinity was that high everything would likely be dead or dying. Have someone else test your water.
