Thank you all. We had previously purchased several items for the purpose of using in a QT only... We have a 10 gallon tank, small hydor heater (if needed), small bubbling stone and a aqueon power filter.

The power filter is HOB and rated for up to 20gals. It came with a filter cartridge which we've hung inside or DT...would it be better seasoned by placing it in our HOB Reef Octopus skimmer? Is there a min. or max. on how long it should take to season?

Our DT is a 40galB without a sump. I know that definately would have helped with seasoning the QTs filtration. Hubby doesn't want to remove any of our aquacultured live rock from the DT either so we can either buy a "live" rock from the LFS or use PVC...

Thanks for all your comments, we are learning from them all.
