German Blue Rams

[40galreef]

I am putting 2 German Blue Rams in a 40 gallon tall aquarium. My ph is 7.2 and my hardness is 150. Will they do okay?

Everything that should be zero is!

A few quick questions:
1.) what are the EXACT parameters?
2.) how long has the tank been up and running?
3.) what else is in the tank (stock list)?
4.) what do you plan on putting in the tank?
5.) is there any way you can post some full tank shots?

You say your Nitrates are 0?

My suggestion is to let the tank age before adding a delicate species like GBRs. Maybe look into Bolivians? Much hardier and generally more forgiving when it comes to water comdition

Ok, that's really what I was thinking

I agree. It's still a fairly new tank

Something is wrong in the tank if Nitrates are 0.

Totally agree

Why? Had carbon in the tank before I had many plants.
