Hi sew crazy, the water parameters you measured look fine. Keep in mind
that there are many other parameters which we don't normally measure, so
water changes are the best way to keep those diluted. Research dissolved
organic compounds (DOCs) and/or total dissolved solids (TDS) as probably the
ones to cause you the quickest trouble, but just keeping up with your water
changes (as a function of your fish-load and the amount of food you drop in)
should keep you in good condition.
