If you always are having ammonia in your tank your load is too high or you are over feeding. How much LR do you have in your tank ? How often do you feed and how are you feeding ? Nitrates are pritty normal . Fish can tolerate them on the lower levels . To have 0 nitrates in your water you will need to run a refug with chaeto in it or have a DSB.
Also like stated before turn of your skimmer when your doing your water change. I turn mine of as well as the lights . Becuase as the water level goes down the light impact will increase and it can bleach out some of your coraline or shock your corals.
