Yup.

I have a 40-gallon breeder that is set up with sand, shells, rubble, all sorts of rock junk, an AquaClear power filter (used to use a MaxiJet, but like the filter better). It's always set up - been running for years. Sometimes it gets reef-safe-ish meds like various wormers and it goes into hyposalinity too. If something yucky pops up, the tank just runs fallow for some weeks.

I also have 20-gallon BB tanks for medicating and tank transfers that just have pipe pieces in them. They dry out between uses, and are only used if a fish needs to be medicated with something I don't want in the 40.
