My ideal may not be everyone's but here goes:
Ammonia and nitrites 0, nitrates 0-20. PH 6.8 - 7.8. Temp 76-78.
I keep tetras, kuhli loaches and mystery snails.

I try and keep a ph of 7.0
Especially when establishing a new tank, every step above 7.0 when you have ammonia in the tank is multiplied by the higher the temp and ph. I.e the higher those levels, the worse the effect of the ammonia
When your tank is clear of ammonia and cycling well, then the range can be more flexible - but that's just my research.
