Yup, sure would. I don't see a return pump so I am assuming that you are using the canister filters for return flow. On that alone, you need an upgrade. A lot depends on what you plan on stocking the tank with too. Also your regional climate, more particularly what you keep your home temperature at. The stocking question will relate directly to skimmer needs as well. So, in summary, a bit more info would go along way to getting better and more precise answers.

Most importantly, will the sump be big enough to contain the drain down from the bigger tank. You probably will need a third heater. Other than that, depends really on stocking levels.
