Default Alkalinity / Hardness Levels

Can any one please tell me what the Alkalinity and Hardness levels should
be. I have a 75 Gal tank

I took the Alkalinity readings and got 170 ppm
and Hardness is well over 2000 ppm and Calcium of 2600ppm

Im using the Lamotte test kits and stopped after filling the solution 10X
and the color still did not change. ( i did the test twice to enusre i was
doing it correctly).

How far off are my levels and where should they be. I have B-Ionic Calcium
Buffer System to help with the levels... Im just not sure how much of each
to add at this point

Thanks
