Ideally, it would of already been set up and cycled.

set up a 30 gallon, with water from your main display so it does not have to cycle and treat the tank with cooper.

IT WILL STILL CYCLE! The biological stuff that keeps your tank form cycling is in the rock, sand, filter etc.. not the water!

oh forgot to mention put some sand in there as well not the rock b/c it will get killed by the cooper, so it does not have to cycle.

 

[hapshot]

so no it does nopt have to cycle.

hi torey

Are you going to use hypo or copper? Either way, if you have LR or LS in there it will kill it and then you will have an ammonia spike. That's why most people have no substrate or LR in their QT tanks.
It may be better to do water changes everyday and syphon out all uneaten feed immediately to prevent it from going into a cycle. Just be sure to monitor your levels very closely.

try a fresh water dip
