would use teh water from the main and a rock to so here would be some bacteriaI don't see why not. The only bad thing is this tank wouldn't be cycled. You could use water from main display to fill it but there will be no real beneficial bacteria is all.
20 gal is my display sizesure you could, put some HOB media in your display sump and when you needed it transfer that into your qt. how big is your system? it would help if you could use water from your DT to fill your QT because then the parameters would match so you could move coral directly to the DT. dispose of the QT water when finished and bleach the media for return to the sump or replace with new. plus there are a lot of articles and posts on here that are more authoritative than I am good luck and have fun.
how often do you do water changes? you could save that water for QT or just fill the qt when you make up saltwater for a water change. maybe use the dump water and new combined till you get a full display. if you siphon detritus during water change dump that part and siphon some clear water for the QT20 gal is my display size
