If you want a quick automatic cycle of your QT tank, just take a moderately size rock from your DT and move it to your QT. This is with the intention of no longer moving the rock back to your DT. About a 5-10lb piece of rock.

I run an Aquaclear HOB with a small rock in my QT tank at all times. Its just a rock with beneficial bacteria on it. It can absorb some copper, but I can work around that.
