I cycled it with live rock from another tank. In my case, my seahorse tank shares a sump with my reef tank, (not ideal, I know but necessary since both need my chiller) so getting the rock out of my sump was no more risky for my QT than what I was doing with my seahorse tank. I do not necessarily recommend you do that.
I'm glad it worked out for you, but I understand why it could lead to a potential issue.
The QT has been filled and running for a few days now. What I didn't think of is the brute trash can that has been running for about 6 months now with the cycled live rock for the DT. I think I will end up throwing a small rock from there in the QT to get the cycle going.
