Do the instructions give you any number ranges for those 3 areas?
Did you test your Ca? If not, get a test kit and test it before doing anything about your Alk.
You might want to look at the Seachem Multi-kit (pH, alk, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate) or the Salifert kits. Both are considered the better/best kits.

Red Sea test kits are the biggest waste of money. I know because I have one. They are somewhat complicated, and very shady as far as being able to tell clearly what the actual reading is. Especially with the Alk test.
As soon as I get a few extra bucks I'm going to buy a whole new test kit.
