So got a lovely Aquanano 40 from a fellow Forum member after first buying all his Seiyru stone (spelling) and using those on the 200.

So to the tech details:
Tank: Aquanano 40 (55liter)
Filter: JBL CrystalProfi E401 (ill be replacing this on the 90 liter with a APS 1000EF)
Pump: All Pond Solutions 200lph pump/s
CO2: Co2Art system with Bazooka Diffuser split from my Co2 system on the 90
Light: Series 5 LED system from Arcadia

Substrate: JBL Proscape Volcano Soil
Under Substrate: JBL Proscape Volcano Powder
Fertilisers: JBL Proscape range

Plants:
Micrathenum Monte Carlo
Weeping Moss
Fissidens Fontanus
Flame Moss

Really wanted to do a red tank but battling to find carpet type red plants.

So first tried a stone only layout but that looked crap:

Then remembered that I had a load of Redmoor lying in the back room and I settled on this:

Will get it wet once I have moved the filters from the 90liter tank.
 
Looks good, however you seem to have very little planting space, perhaps you should remove the largest rock and use the redmoor as a centre piece sat on/amongst some of the smaller rocks. That way you can plant all around it, creating a nice island style scape. That's just my opinion ;) enjoy the tank, your stocking sounds great, I want chili rasboras in my next scape.
 
The substrate will over some of the rock so hopefully there will be a lush green carpet over it all...

Might be changing my plant plans as I just saw a red dutch scape....
 
Oh right , sorry, that sounds alot better, an all red scape would be amazing, different from anything else!
