How do you lower nitrite and nitrate levels for a newly set-up African cichlid tank also what are the optimum hardness and alkilinity levels for said tank?

The only safe way to lower Nitrite levels is to have a properly cycled filter doing the job bacteriologically for you. As far as keeping the resultant Nitrates down that can only be achieved by either using them up by growing plants or changing heaps of water every week. Recommended levels. pH around 8.5 to 9. GH more than 20 ppm

Can you use pool testers for an aquarium?
If your pool kit tests for both acid and alkaline pH, General Hardness, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate then it will do the job. If not, then you will need to get whatever bits are missing if you want to keep tabs on what is happening in your water.
What pH water hardness nitate nitrite amonia levels are best before you introduce delicate fish into an aquarium that you want to survive?
pH and hardness really depend on the type of fish that you want to introduce. I highly recommend researching the particular type of fish and their requirements for pH and hardness. Nitrate, nitrite and ammonia levels should be at or near zero for most kinds of fish, though once again it is recommended that you research the kind of fish that you're planning on introducing.
