SUPER high calcium ... HELP !!

well i was going to start moving everything from my frag tank to my 125 tomarrow, but ... i have a seriously high calcium reading on more than one test kit. i have NOT dosed ANYTHING for over 3 months.

i just moved into a house about 5-6 weeks ago, and everything was moved with the tank. sand was removed and replaced with some new sand added (for a deeper sandbed). 80% of the water in the system is from when it was set up before and tested 425 - 450. about 150-200lbs of the 300lbs from previous setup was removed and is in the seperate frag tank. so it now has about 150lbs. of rock in the display. so like i said ... EVERYTHING is from the previous set-up.

MY CALCIUM IS TESTING AT 620 !! alk is at 11 with NO snowing in the tank !! WHAT GIVES ?? i am completely stumped !!

Parameters are

PO4 = .25
NH3 = .1
NO2 = 0
NO3 = <5
KH = 11
Cal = 620

i am using Red Sea Coral Pro salt. alot of guys in my LFC are getting VERY different calcium test results when using the same salt AND the same kits. any ideas ?? could the die off from all of the coraline be the cause of my super high calcium level ??
