How old are your test kits/what brand are they? Those numbers seem a bit suspect, especially if you keep up with regular water changes.
Magnesium does affect your calc/alk levels, as mentioned, but I'd suggest taking a sample of your water to a LFS and having them run some tests to double check your test results.
