I moved my tank. Took me 6 hours. Put fish in a tub, kept the filters wet and used all fresh water. Everything was fine. Aslong as your filters stay wet not much can go wrong. Just my opinion though 
Upgrading tank size advise.

Nope your spot on. The bacteria can do fine wet for a few hours. Just make sure to keep them wet with tank water or conditioned tap water. The BB can be killed by chlorinated tap water.I moved my tank. Took me 6 hours. Put fish in a tub, kept the filters wet and used all fresh water. Everything was fine.

I only know because I got advice on this site myself before I moved the tank haha
I still like the idea of keeping the filter attached to the tub so ammonia doesn't build up and the bacteria has something to eat.
I'd have to go with the SunSun as a good choice in filter. They are a knock off brand and the flow rate is a little low, but they still flow plenty and have been getting lots of great reviews, both on the forums and on Amazon.
I have one and even though I've only had it for a few months, I am really happy with it so far.

I didn't think they had such a positive reputation. I only provided a story that I've heard in person, but I've had no experience with them. If that's the case I would get one but the next tank I plan on getting already has a filter built in.
If you are looking at canisters, I was considering using two Hydors for my new 125 before I decided to build a custom wet/dry sump. Hydor makes nice stuff.
Not sure why you would say that. Prices are easy enough for anyone with a computer to quickly find. The biggest Hydor Pro is $180. The Eheim's go $350+.
