ok then dude! heres some from today got a hagen Co2 kit in there now with some live plants one attached to a bit of bog wood lol when i set it up a few weeks ago i used the water from my weekly water change form the 200 to fill it (Pleco poo and all) then cleaned the filter foam from the Roma in the water of the 40L and took the sponge form the little fluval U1 i have in there and socked up some of the dirty water to give the bacteria a better chance of growing witch seemed to work as 3 weeks later its cycled so i have 6 harlequins in there now witch ill leave in there to keep the bacteria alive ready for my puffers witch i will be getting in about a months time then move them up to the 200 i will get a few more plants and some more wood maybe a few pebbles as well and im going to add a few otto's at some point to. Heres a few pics i took on my phone as my camera run out of power
