NH3 Back Up - What to do?

Today is day 26. Got a good CUC and seem to be doing well. They have cleaned up the algae that began to form on rocks and a bit on the glass since running lights 9 hrs per day. They cleaned up the diatom that was on the sand. Below are my results today. I am seeing a bit of NH3 forming again and my nitrates are up a bit. What can I do about the NH3 being up? ( The two fish have been in since day 2 because of terrible advice from LPS)

it's probably because the tank was not cycled properly thus not enough bacteria colony yet to process ammonia right away. try not to overfeed the fish. look for some death snails. do a water changes. you could also use prime.
