Ammonia... Whats "dangerous" in new tank?

I just added all my live rock yesterday to my new 150 gal. setup... I did an ammonia check today and it seems to be around 1.2 to 1.3 on my Salifert test...
There is nothing in the tank except sand, water and rock, but my rock seems to have lots of little bristle worms and what i think are sponges and corals, etc...
I don't really want to be changing water every day if I can avoid it, does anyone know at what levels the ammonia will be toxic to the little worms and critters? Can I let it get close to a certain reading and then do the change?
