I keep the sponge filter (and a spare) for my QT in the sump of my reef tank to keep it ready for the next newcomer. When I set up my QT tank, I use water from the reef tank to fill it, then replace the water in it with new. I do need to plan ahead so I can have a batch mixed, usually for a full water change while I'm at it. This system works well since there is no cycling of the QT required, and it helps to stall impulse purchases when there is no premixed water for refilling the reef. I don't bother with rock in my QT, I just go with some PVC pipes.
