Yes.

It's not a big deal which size you choose. Most of the "standard" boxes
are really smaller than they should be (some were made back in the 1980s when
computers were much slower.) The solvateBox and solvateOct routines will
replicate and truncate boxes as needed. Something on the order of 1000
ethanol molecules should be fine.
