You said in your other thread the following:

thanks guys, my ca tested like 700ppm wtf? my alk is like 5.5dkH too?

Is it 500 or 700? At any rate you are going to have to let that Ca level come down naturally. You can add just the Alk portion of the 2 part but it probably won't do to much for you alk with Ca that high. It can also cause a steep rise in the pH so without the chemistry experience, I sould say don't do it. You need to measure your Mg and get that in line.
