If you have an overflow you can put the sponge in there if there is room, if not you can put the filter over you DT for a bit (You can also just try to hide the sponge in some rockwork, as all you really want is the benificial bacteria to start forming on the sponge so by putting it in some rockwork it will keep your DT appearance look better). As for water changes you will have to monitor the QT tank water paramaters (ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite) for signs of when to do a waterchange. I tend to change 1 empty saltwater bucket worth of water every 4-5 days on a 33 g QT (I get the water from my DT and add it to the QT tank, and then add a fresh bucket of saltwater to my display tank).
