125 is around 7dkh, which is right at the lower limits of what you would like. Nothing bad will happen at the levels your at but you should start boosting your alk a little. It just gets harder to maintain your pH at around 8.2 during the day when you have a low alk. When it gets too low then you can have other more serious problems, but that is below 5dkh when you need to start to worry a little.
7-11dkh for alk is the "safe" range, recommended is try to keep it within 8-10dkh.
Calcium ranges from 340-440 typically. You can go higher but no reason to. I usually keep mine in the 400-420 range.
