Q: How to make my iPad library the default library in iCloud Photos Beta

I have been using photo stream to share photos between my iPhone and iPad for the past several years. I recently turned on the iCloud Photos Beta program for my iPhone, but when I go to activate it on my iPad it warns me that I'm going to lose some 6,000+ photos. I use my iPad for editing and storage of final prints before I send them to my Mac to be printed. I have a unique library set up on my iPad, but the one via iCloud library mimics my iPhone's library as a default. Is there a way to set it up so that iCloud mimics my iPad library rather than my iPhone? I don't organize photos or the library on my iPhone, but heavily rely on my iPad and don't want to lose the 6k photos to transition to iCloud.
