What’s the migration plan from the 40 to the 425 XL?

I will be taking it slow, IM40 been up for 4 years mixed reef, LPS dominate, will allow the 425 to cycle and then slow start moving from IM to 425. Will move the coral slowly, then start the fish I have plans to add more Assessors in new tank, have one will need to try all at same time. Sure hope star align.... Plus have Blue star, want to add a black leopard, understand they need to be add at same time. Then I have a l have a few fairy wrasses I'm interested in.... Will keep all updated.

By chance you have any input on the migration?
