Glad to hear that you aren't keeping a tang in a 15 Gallon. I didn't think that was the case.
Again, personally I don't believe in hospital tanks. The stress of catching them, the stress of putting them in a new environment, usually much smaller and not of the same water quality usually would stress them out more. Again, just my opinion, but why do that.
I have had ICH, and I have only ever lost one fish to it in my big tank. I find if your environment is spot on, and you keep your parameters good, just let them be and feed them a good varied diet. This also goes for HYPO, I don't believe in it.
Now in saying that, I have great success with fish... I can't say much lately for my coral though. Oh Well.
