With no corals I would say these parameters are the most important:
salinity: 1.024-1.026
Temp: 77-79
Ammonia: 0

what about the PH & Nitrate levels?

Starting out with no corals I would not worry about those two parameters.

If it’s fish only I’d still keep nitrates below 30 as I think if it gets too high it can become toxic to fish. People seem to target a pH of 8.1-8.4. But since pH is a log scale it’s probably more important to keep it stable rather than focusing on a single number.
