My tank is dying and I don't know why :(

Last night all my inverts were dead. This morning I found 3 fish dead.

The values of my tank:
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 10ppm
Saline 1.025
Calc 490
Magnisium 1297
Alkalinity 12
Temp 78

I thought my testers were wrong so I took my water to my LSF and they said the same.

I've done a 30% water change.
Any ideas? Most of the fish are hiding. My clown is on the verge of death. Most of the corals are open but they haven't fully extended.

Bacteria infection, low oxygen, toxic chemical accidentally introduced into the aquarium?

I think more information will help to provide more idea's for you, there is not much to go on here.

Can you post some pics in white light? How old is the tank? How long you had the fish? Fish occupants? Are you dosing anything? Full tank pic in white light please.

EDIT: Nevermind, this was a double-post.

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
