hey guys I just bought a new tank for my little buddy. I went from a 20 gallon tank to a 40gallon tank, would I need to upgrade my bulb wattage for the new tank?

Yeah it comes down to surface temps as far as the basking light goes. If your surface temps are the same (roughly 100-105 basking and 75-85 cool side) then the basking light is OK. Changing distance and wattage will affect this.
You will also likely need a new UVB light since the distance from the bulb to the basking area has changed. If you can provide us details about the current setup we will be glad to help advise on what needs to be upgraded.
