Quarantine Tank Water Parameters

I was curious what are acceptable water parameters for a quarantine tank holding fish only. I change about 30% water once a week. Filter is a HOB Bio-wheel and a Quiet-One pump for UV sterilizer. The tank is a 20 gal and currently I have two clowns and one tang in quarantine. The water seems to stay around 8.2 PH, 0 Ammonia, 10 Nitrite. Are these levels acceptable for a quarantine tank?

You want to try and get the nitrites down to zero, very low nitrates are not as bad.
