Hello everyone.

I have a Innovative Marine 16g white.
I have had the tank for about 4 years. I learned everything I know about reefing with this tank. I still like it and everything thrives in it.
But I have come to not like the choice of a white tank that I made years ago.
I am looking into changing tanks. Not to a bigger nor smaller. I want to get the same tank but in black. Actually it will be somewhat bigger.. Its the Innovative marine 20g black.

I have given this a lot of thought but I haven't decided yet. So I am asking you guys. Do you think it will be a good idea to just transfer EVERYTHING from my old tank into the new, in the exact same configuration?

Or will this upset everything and all my corals and fishes will die?

PS: My current stock is a cleaner shrimp. A pair of clowns. 3-4 SPS, a few LPS and a gorgonian that I keep pruning every now and then.
