Fritz salt parameters?

I've searched but couldn't find a definite answer to what it mixes at. I just mixed my first batch and the parameters were a little unexpected.

I mixed to 1.026 and Alkalinity was good at 8.7 but Calcium was 500 and Magnesium was 1575(both by Salifert)!

Alkalinity was about where I wanted it but the Calcium and Magnesium were a lot higher than I would like.

I just tested mine when I did a water change alkalinity was 8.1 and calcium for 450 I didn't test magnesium and this is at 1.026. Tested with a dkh Hanna checker and elos calcium test

I noticed the calcium is time released. When I test it the next day after in my tank it was higher than when I first put it in. Note I also mixed the saltwater for 24hrs.

Yesterday i tested my new saltwater before water change
35ppt salinity milwaukee
8.3 ph apex
8.6 dkh salifert
450 calcium salifert
1380 magnesium salifert

That was what I was expecting. I checked salinity with two different refractometers thinking it must be higher than 1.026 but they both said it was spot on (calibrated with two different calibration fluids). I also checked the Mg with two different tests. The Calcium was with Salifert.
