Get your salinity up to 1.025 or so. If you are just starting your cycle, I wouldn't worry about the Ph (it is a bit low), your chemistry is going to be a little off until the initial cycle is complete.

+1, and you have a few weeks still to wait until the tank has cycled. You can then do a water change, and re-chck your params. You can then SLOWLY start to add some livestock to the tank, a clean up crew is always a good start.
Patience is a virtue in this hobby, don't rush anything.

Good luck with your new tank
