All depends on why the krib tank failed. Did you put kribs in there and they died?? Were there any fish at all in the 20g??

It depends on your bioload in the tank. Assuming it is within limits, I would add a sponge filter for extra protection. You don't need extra power filtration.

If no fish were ever in the 20gal your filter from it is good to go.
