Need help, drop from 220 to 170 ppm in 12 hours?

OK, is this possible to drop in 12 hours from 220 ppm alkalinity to 170 ppm? The drop was overnight.

Based on my calculations I need to dose about 2.3 liters of the baking soda solution just to maintain per day. This change seems to be consistent over the long term. I do need to clean all my pumps every 1-2 months from buildup.

My calcium is on the high side 480 ppm and so is my MG at 1500+. My salinity is 1.029 from dosing two part and I am working on bringing it down.

I do have this one sps coral self propagating all over my tank, with a good number of large colonies all over a large tank.

Currently, using two part from Randy's recipes. Guessing I need a calcium reactor?
