You don't know your magnesium-400 range is no good.

 

Any ammonia is too much ammonia

 

Salinity a bit high

 

Calcium a bit low

Yep, your tank's biofilter is being overwhelmed. Did you just start this tank? If not, has there been a death in your tank?

 

Salinity a bit high

I agree, 1.025 is a more common specific gravity. However, when you dilute this down, the other parameters will also go down. Testing with a calibrated refractometer will help ensure that this measurement is correct.

 

Here are a couple references:

That's a massive difference in your magnesium. What are you testing with? Around 1300 would be better.
