High alkalinity and High calcium

Hello. Something is wrong here. My dkh value is 11.5 and my calcium value is reading at 560 PM. My ph is reading 7.9.
To test KH I am using Salifert testing, calcium I'm using API. My ph value is from a calibrated American Marine PH monitor. I moved about two weeks ago and used LFS saltwater for half the tank to make it a faster process. These values are to high to have a sub 8 PH. Please help.
 
Those value seem possible to me. That pH is fairly common for a house with the windows shut. I wouldn't worry much, but I'd stop dosing calcium and alkalinity for a while. What does some freshly-mixed saltwater measure?
