I have a 20g tank for my quarantine tank and i have used all the water from my DT and the seeded filter sponge from my DT. is it necessary that i 'feed' it a little bit of pellets everyday til i get fish? i set it up yesterday and so far its testing 0 amm, 0 nitrite and less than 5 nitrate.

Yes, it is a good idea to put a small pinch of food every few days to keep the healthy bacteria going. Don't over do it or you will cause an ammonia spike. I would do a large water change and double check water quality when you ready to get a new fish.

my Qt tanks consist of tank water, light(CPF type) couple pieces of LR and HOB filter.
