most common QT practice is not to use any sand or rock. this is due to many reasons. if u want to place something just for fish to hide behind, use 2" pvc pipe elbows or small pieces.
if you end up with ur original thought of using established rock in new QT then bio wheel is not really a requirement unless and if u ever decide to take the rock out there will be not much place for good bacteria to colonize at and with rock skimmer will be a good thing to remove organic material.
