Hi Franng,
So happy to know that some of us is rational enough and know what he is doing. Make sure you wait, I'd say the safest is 4 wks with room temp (warmer to expedite the life cycle) to kill all possible free living ich tomites. After that, probably you would like to change water and then remove all residual medication by activated carbon or Cu remover if you are using copper.
Add some fish food and let it decompose, observe the increase in NH3 and then NO2 and then NO3, at the end, if you have zero NH3 and NO2 and reasonable NO3, that's the right time for you to add fish, 1 or 2 at a time for the bacteria to build up to cope with the increase bio load. Keep monitoring all the parameters, say once every 2 days or 3 days and until you are happy that the bacteria colony has multiplied. Buy more fish if you want.
For the time being, since you have no fish, I won't bother about checking all those parameters you mentioned, save some $$$ for fish.
LIVE FISH IS NOT NECESSARY TO START THE NITROGEN CYCLE, ALL YOU NEED IS AMMONIA AND BACTERIA
