What should be measured and what are the ideal parameters for inverts?

I have a FOWLR tank and want to get some snails, shrimp and maybe hermit crabs.

The guy at my LFS gave me test kits for KH and Calcium and explained the target range.

Are those 2 things (besides the regular ammonia, Nitrite, nitrate, pH and salinity) the only things that I need to care about?

Sorry if this is obvious somehow. I've searched for posts about it but got nothing definitive.
 
I keep my inverts at :
PH- 8.3 ammonia- 0 nitrite-0 nitrate-1.0 alk- 9.0kh Calcium-480 salinity- 1.024 .
inverts like stability also.

Thanks. And that's pretty much all the parameters that matter to inverts?
