Not sure if raising the MG raises the other two, never needed to go there. Maybe one of the chemistry people can chime in on that one.

I assume the dying has stopped?

I would say if you can do water changes and repeat those numbers above, that's not that far off, consistency is everything, if you need to dose up, the amounts should be real small, I may just do ALK, wait 10 minutes, test, to see if you can bring AlK up to 8, then when you get the 8, wait 24 hours and test again. The question is does the ALK hold and what happened to calcium....
