grab another set of test kits imo, salifert should be good. it's a small cost, but it will give you more comfort that your RS test kits are reading well.

how are you measuring your salinity? a refractometer? or a hydrometer? large temperature difference between your salt mix water and your tank water could have an impact on your readings.

anyways, your parameters are very unlikely to be the cause of fish death though, although the 100ml 2 part dosing with a low coral load seems really suspect. i've got a reefer 525 with a medium high coral load (100+ lps, sps frags/colonies) and i am only dosing 60ml a day.

if it were me, i'd stop water changes until i get another set of test kits to double confirm. also toss in an ammonia test kit just to rule ammonia out too.
