This is a write up from Mr. Randy Holmes-Farley
Not only does it show you where your your parameters should be, but it goes into details explaining the importance of them in terms us beginners can understand.
I would say your tank is ready to go.

Although S.G. 1.026 is correct, I'm wondering if you have an Auto Top Off (ATO)? As water evaporates, your S.G. will climb and might wonder dangerously high. Also if you don't have a refractometer, that 1.026 may be off, further causing problems. Just to be safe I would run my S.G. at 1.023, especially if you are only going to have fish and softies.
