Great advice so far but I'd like to add a few things.
Plants won't help speed up the cycle, only added ammonia will do that. With 2 t8 bulbs I wouldn't expect to do much more than low light plants which would inclue anubias, java moss, java fern, and bolbitis.
German Blue Rams are a pita to keep alive in an aquarium but it can be done. I would definitely wait until the tank has been cycled at least a month before trying them and even then I would start out with 1 pair and work my way up to 2 or possibly even 3 pairs from there. As for the bolivian rams, I've never even seen them in person because they aren't popular around here so I'm not sure about them.
With any type of loach I would probably avoid stocking less than 4 of them.
How many filters are you planning on running with this tank?
