I have a pair of blue spot jawfish currently in QT. I was a little worried about how to best make them comfortable without a deep sand bed and rocks. I made a little house out of PCV. So far one of the two has taken a liking to it. Plan is to keep reef tank around 75 and see how they do.

what a little cutie!. Most recommend a container deep enough to hold a few inches of sand when QT fish that burrow although you seem to have something that works. The reason why you don't use a full sand bed in a QT is that it will absorb copper which may not be beneficial in the long run.
Yes I am aware of the copper absorption which is why I chose the PVC structure. Seems to be working well so far.
