55 Gallon Aquarium Stocking and Needs?

I just got a 55g aquarium for FREE off the curb. It has no cracks and holds water. It included a ton of décor and a big filter and a 200W Heater. Oh and an airstone, gravel vaccum, hood, and lights.

1. What can I stock it with?

2. Cycling? I have 3 10g cycled aquariums. Seeding my aquarium?

3. Care for fish?

4. What else do I need?

Update:

How do I seed it?..................

    Run the new filter if you can on one of your cycled tanks for a few weeks that will cycle the new filter and will be ready to change over to the 55g

    55g is a decent size tank you can have alot of choice in fish if u want small community fish or larger fish like parrot cichlids

    All u need to do is give everything a good clean with fresh water includin the filter u may need new pads for it if there old dont use any soap on the decor or filter

    Care for fish can come at a later date snd on the type u wish to keep
