Yes, you can bring over LR from your main tank. Just make sure it's rock that has little growing on it, because hyposalinity will kill many inverts. This can serve as a bacteria base. It would be a good idea to also add a sponge filter or two, so bacteria have a place to grow that is not dependent on LR.
If you find the hyposalinity treatment doesn't work, and you want to use something else, you must remove the live rock.
In a QT tank, you keep ammonia, and nitrite down by doing water changes, if necessary. Also, feed lighting during this time.
