I clean the fluval filters monthly and last cleaned them about 3 weeks ago, just before adding the new fish. The ammonia and trites barely register on my tests and I pretty much approximated them from slight color changes. They are both near 0, but I'll work on getting them to 0.

As far as the salt level, everything I've read says that for a fish only tank, 1.021 - 1.024 is ideal. I usually try to keep it about 1.022, just a bit low right now. I usally do a 5% - 10% water change weekly and can fix that fairly quickly.
