Calc/alk imbalance - What to do?

Alk has been at 2.5 mEq/L and Calcium at 480 mg/L for the last month.
Should I do anything about this, or will it work itself out on its own?

Oh and pH is between 7.7 and 8.0, depending on time of day.
Tank is 12 gallon Nanocube, FOWLR, with chaeto in the back, though I'm not sure how well that is 'working'.

Salt is IO, salinity 1.026. I don't dose anything.

IO is known to mix with low calcium. Compare your test results with another kit or have someone else test for you.

So you're saying that the calc reading is too high?
Ok, how about the alk being too low?
Also, what if that calc reading is accurate?
