Hi everyone.. I have a 55 gal tank. We started the tank last Saturday with Live sand and salt water. The LFS also sold us 2 clowns and 2 cardinals.. the cardinals died within 24 hours of putting them in the tank! 
We brought the fish back and they traded us for one spotfin butterfly (yellow/white/black spots on the top and tail).
We then figured after some further reading and forum searching...that the shop didn't give us correct info on getting the fish before cycling the tank. We went to a new shop.. where they sold us a 10 gal hospital tank.. and 40lbs of live rock.. we have that in the tank now with the fish. They are all doing good except one of the clowns appears to have white fuzzy stuff on it's gills and underside.. so we got the meds for it..
We have the 10 gal set up now with water (set 1.010 salinity) we have not transferred the sick fish yet.. question is this... should we move all the fish into this tank and treat them all??? We are figuring that this would get the fish out of harms way while the 55gal finishs cycling with the rock in it.. but not sure if all the fish would be safe in the medicated hospital tank.
Any help or suggestions are much appreciated!!
Thanks!
