alkalinity is high


my kh/alkalinity is testing at 12.8 for the KH and 4.57 for the alkalinty. My calcium is finally stabalizing is around 440 im using b-ionic 2 part im dosing my calcium at 3ml to 4gallons and I am dosing the alkalinity part at 1ml to every 4 gallons the suggested dosage. Should I stop using the alkalinity part till it comes down or cut down the recomended dosage to half that? Isnt the proper kh 8.4 to 10.5 and alk at 3.00 to 3.75?

Don't add anymore! let the levels drop. You may have to add at 1/2 doses. What size is your tank? and what are the stocking levels(how many coral)
