Go get some salt..... 2 tanks with no backup salt or water is asking for it.
Time for waterchanges, but the real question is what died to make the ammonia 1ppm.

Water change needed asap. Ammonia levels as low as 0.2 ppm can be toxic. Once the downward spiral of death happens it goes quickly.

how long have you had your tank up? if you are cycling, do not do water changes.........it will just slow the cycle. Anytime i've had small spikes i just used amquel+ which is made to use with live rock aquariums and doesn't mess with the good bacteria in your aquarium. I've always had good results with that and it will allow for your tank to cycle normally.
