Is there a way to lower my calcium?

Alk- 8.7dkH
Mag - 1800ppm
Cal - 590

I’ve been testing for a two weeks and my calcium and magnesium don’t go down. My alkalinity went from 10 to 8.7dkH. Should I raise my alkalinity to 10?

Is there a way to lower both calcium and magnesium?

My water changes are every two weeks 10% I use IO reef crystals.

Stock:
Zoas
Frogspawn (2 heads)
Torch (2 heads)
Duncan (1 head)
Montipora (small Frag)
Acan (1 head)
Alveopora (1 head)
Favia (1 head)
2 ricordeas.
1 mini maxi nem

I use 2 little fishies. Last salt I used was tropic Marin pro. The 1 thing I can do to benefit my tank is put a premium salt in so that's what I do. So many things are out of my control that I feel I should put the best in when I have the control.
