Very high Ca levels

[1st timer]

Well after trying to find out why my Ca levels were so high 580ppm + I did a unscientific test... I mixed some fresh saltwater up to match the salinity of my main tank and let it sit for a couple of hours and checked to make sure the levels were still the same.
Next came the Ca test... After testing I was floored,from the 5 gallon bucket to the water 580... (Im using Oceanic salts).Is there a way to buffer this or should I go to a different salt or could this be isolated to this bucket which by the way is almost finished. I like the way this stuff mixes and is very clear as Im sure other brands are,its just that I have not had the opportunity to try others because of the five gallon bucket (200 gallon mix) Is there a consensus of a good particular brand?

I'd suggest switching salts at least until you have enough corals to consume the Calcium.
I know of no concensus on good brands. I use IO, there a many good salt brands.

I also posted this on another forum and one suggestion was to mix Oceanic and Instant ocean for a good blend.
