Wow Eva, those levels are a bit off. You must be experiencing some kind of cycle, thats how I'd explain the high ammonia etc. When was you last water change? I'm not sure if these levels would contribute to a fish death but they would add some stress to their living conditions.
As for the calcium (660) and carbonates (100) thats way off. You need to bring your carbonates up to at least 150, (ALK 3 or 10.5 DKh) Leave your calcium alone and it will eventually decrease. For best results on reef Chemistry PM Beverly in Edmonton for the links.
A think a large water change would help to to put all of your levels in check. Good luck!
