So I was wondering if my 14 gallon biocube would make a good quarantine tank for any new fish that I buy? Right now it has sand and live rock rubble along with some macro algae, GSP and Kenya tree.

What do you guys think?

I understand I wouldn't be able to but any medication in it while the other stuff was in there but if I'm just using to get the fish eating and less stressed do you think it would be fine? I could always put it in another tank to medicate if need.

sounds perfect if that is all you want to do. You might do a short freshwater dip before putting the fish in there.

I like it. I bet it stresses the fish less than when he has nothing to hide in. :)
And if problems develop you can get rid of the stuff and make it barebottom so you can treat (or use a different tank)
