quarantine tank

I have just started my 34 gallon red sea max and i've been debating on what kind of quarantine tank to get. I've been thinking about keeping a 14 gallon biocube, is it ok to just keep a damsel or two in there. i live in an apt. so i have no basement or any spare room and i like to keep it neat so does anyone have any suggestions. thanks

 

a lot of people just use a 10 gallon fish tanks for quarantines theres no need to spend like 200$ on a tank for quarantines

 

do i keep it running all the time then?

 

Yeah you'd keep it running with some lr and some sand though it doesn't have to be as precise as your main tank so long as your spec's are mostly on. Why not do a 'fuge off the accessory port? say 20 gallons and a deep sand base. There's some great articles on fuge design and merely shut off the pump pulling water from the main tank if something nasty occurs.

 

i honestly have very little knowledge of fuges. is there any particular sites or books i should look at? i'll try googling it. thanks guys.
