You can rinse the tank out with water, and maybe use some white vinegar on it to remove anything like water stains.

As with a reef tank, the basis for a fish only (FO) tank would be live rock with powerheadss. There aren't a whole lot of fish that would be non reef fish for that size tank. Of course, there's nothing wrong with fish and no corals.

And a good start would be once the tank is cycled with live rock move some of those fish from the 12g to the 20g as I think your 12g is well, very overstocked.....jmho
