Upgrade time is always fun and a hassle all in one.
If you have the room to keep it all running that makes things a little easier but messy as you will have 2 systems running till the new one is totally setup.
In my case I did setup a 10 footer then build everything around it then added what I liked ,water, rocks, lighting, skimmer and all filtrations keeping in mind always with new setup you could plan ahead for what your old setup was missing.
then last thing transfer your live stock.
I could if you like give you a crash course at my place going over what I done to my setup.
If you decide to upgrade have fun with it.
