Good day all, I’m still trying to understand the difference between nh3 and nh4 so I wanted some opinion on my water quality as I am but concerned with my ammonia levels

Temp 79.9
PH 8.23
Salinity 33.4 PSU
Inhabitants 2 mocha clowns and 1 Niger trigger.
feeding 1 cube of blood worms or mysis daily
Filter socks changed weekly
Cycled with ammonium nitrate until ammonia per Hanna tester

thank you!!

NH3(ammonia) is the form you are going to predominantly find in a saltwater tank and the one you really would be concerned with.
 
Ammonium and ammonia will almost always be present in a tank with fish in it.
Testing 0 NH3 with a Hanna checker does not mean there is 0 in the system.
Where are these test results from and what accuracy range do they state?

I would not be concerned.

This is from my Mastertronic. The ammonia reagent is from JBL

thank you
