According your API test (which are not the best test kits but a good way to learn) your No3 sits at around 20ppm.
Not to be worried about.
Just tell a bit more about your system please as I can get a understanding what or why you sit a bit high.

OK so I have a 90 gallon rimless tank
2-4 inch sand bed live
Chaeto full of live things
Bubble mag 5 skimmer
Mp40 wave maker
Echo tech marine lights
auto top off
Fire shrimp
Cleaner shrimp
Hippo tang 3-5inch
Purple tang 3-4inch
Flame angel 2 inch
Female leopard wrasse 3 inch
3 little clowns 1-2inch
2 little anthius I think that's what they are called orange body with purple stripe
Good amount of live rock
A few crabs
3 emerald crabs
A few turbo snails
And some other snails that have eys with a big nose ..
Um I think I covered most ...

Don't have a mag test kit yet.
What I do is stand in my kitchen (where the sun hits the curtain behind me) and hold the tube to the paper.
It's easier to tell if the tube is next to the colors. Or else it becomes one of those brain game pictures where my brain is faking colors lol

Nice tank!
Nice tank my friend.
Ok, IMO you pushing it with your live stock.
I'm not going to lecture about if a 90 gallon is big enough for your tangs, you are a big boy so you can make that decision yourself.
Missing the Phosphate test.
ALK and CAL looking all in range.
Again the No3 is a bit at the high side but not to worry about it.
Would like to see a Po4 test # though
Mean while you can do some extra water changes.
