Numbers fine and not a new new system.
See any spots?
What do bodies look like?
All died at once?
What type of fishes?

Did you add any new fish lately to your tank?

 

[Asterios]

No..the last fish i added last month i believe

 

[Gumbies R Us]

Did you QT your fish?

How did they act before they died?

Any recent changes to your tank?

Do you have photos or videos of the fish?

We need pictures. Also need to remove the nitrites.

Why? Nitrite is non-toxic in saltwater, and is basically a non issue. Many R2R members don't bother testing for nitrites at all.

What type of fish?

 

[The Nautilus]

Did you do anything before the first fish died within a few days? Even a water change. Maybe moving corals or fragging? No change of equipment?

I forgot that nitrites don’t really affect saltwater. I still prefer to not have any nitrites, but you are right, there is no harm in having a small amount of nitrites

Yesterday i make water change 40%-50%
Now how long i must wait??

You should run fallow for 4-6 weeks to ensure any fish disease is eradicated from the system. Going forward you should consider quarantining your fish before adding to the tank. I do so wit a cheap 10 gallon tank from Petco along with a hang on back filter and water heater.
