Look at the chart below to find out if you need to raise your calcium a bit or decide to lower your alk. 350-400 is a bit vauge and you should get a more accurate number. Personally I would raise the calcium for the alk level that you have and shoot for about 430.
Alk/ dKH/ Calcium
0.00 0.00 360
0.50 1.40 370
1.00 2.80 380

2.00 5.60 400
2.50 7.00 410
