You don't want that water in your display tank so yes throw it out if it's been treated with any chemicals. If it was used strictly as a quarantine tank you can just keep it up and running if you anticipate needing it again in the near future.

You don't want the chance of anything in your hospital tank getting into your DT. Just throw it away, your hospital tank shouldn't be that large anyways so you won't be throwing a lot away.

And then clean out the HT with bleach, then vinegar and then water. That way it's ready for the next time you need it!
