It depends on what you are QTing. My SPS QT system has MH lights and a skimmer. I have no idea what a trickle/waterfall filter is...sorry. You can run carbon if you like, but I don't unless I'm using medication and its recommended afterwards.
Yup, all you need is water movement, a hiding place for fish, a heater, and some light. I find lights help get the fish into a routine, and they seem to respond better when they go into the display. I try to do things around the same time for both fish in QT, and in the display.
