Realistically my display tank isnt infected though, all tangs have ich present in their gills right? I was thinking of putting a UV sterilizer in my tank to kill any free floating ich, and keep the tang in my refugium which is currently empty. Makes sense to me but I could be wrong.

Don't put the tang into fw from a Killi tank. It's pH will be 6.7 to 7.0 while the pH of the marine tank is 8.2. You need to add some buffer to bring the pH of the FW up to that of the saltwater.

When doing a fw bath you need to ALWAYS MATCH the temperature and the pH. Otherwise the fish will go into shock and may die.
