Default I bought a Quarantine tank, now what?

After reading tons of posts about quarantine tanks, I figured it would be a good idea and a good time to pick one up as the LFS had some awesome prices on kits (10g for $69). Anyway, I'm very new to the hobby and am currently getting my 32g up and running (10 days with fish) but it's not cycled yet.

So, the question is what's the process to start using it? I did go looking for an answer, but couldn't find one. I hope it's not too stupid of a question.

The next fish to add to 32g with my school of neons will be a little school of corys. Should I add them to the 10g quarantine tank that only has treated tap water? Should I take a bunch of water from the 32g first? Something else?

And what do you do with the tank when's there's no need to have fish in it? Keep it empty? Full of water with a fish or two? What is the "standby" mode of a quarantine tank?

Thanks in advance!
