Tank Upgrading from 10 GL to a 20 long

[Bankertanker]

Hey everyone,

I started reefing about 2 months ago, i currently have a 10GL in my office with a pair of clowns one damsel and a goby, and some soft coral and we are looking to upgrade to a 20GL, (That is the max capacity allowed),

My goal is to get more in the tank and give the fish more space.

Here is the tank: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/new-office-10-gal-nano.852956/#post-9281068

I am trying to figure a few thing and any help would be amazing,

1) Hang on or canister filter (Right now i have a hang on regular generic one)?
2) Should i get a second light being its going to be a longer tank?
3) Recommendations for a ATO so the tank can be topped off?
4) What is the best way to transfer all the stuff from the 10GL and not cause any stress to the fish or coral?

And is there anything i should know before making the move or any tips for when moving,

Thanks in advance.

Since it's only a 20 a hang on will be find. You can get a canister filter but it's not needed.

I'd say a second light would be good.

you could push the envelope of tank size with a hang on back refugium that holds another 5 gallons...boss, its just a filter...
