Either change salt or when you prepare new saltwater, use a little bit of muriatic acid and an airstone for twenty four hours to bring the alk down to a more reasonable level.

Do you have SPS in your tank or other corals? If not, you can switch to a cheaper salt like Reef Crystals because anemones don’t typically need elevated levels.
