I just finished testing the water in all 4 of my tanks and they all showed a slightly elevated amount of Amonia about .1 and 0 Nitrite & 0 Nitrate. What would cause a small of Ammonia but no Nitrate? Do I need better filtration or more WC's?

How long has the tank been running? Anything done recently to it or the media. What is your current setup and stocking?
The simple answer to your question is an un-cycled tank.

All 4 tanks have been established for just under a year. I have not changed anything recently. ABout 2 weeks ago all 4 tanks had no Ammonia and about 30 Nitrates. The only thing that I have done during that time was a water change
A low ammonia reading in a cycled tank can mean you don't have enough bio media available for your bioload.
