Default How do you keep a Hippo Tang from getting ick all of the time???

When we began our F/O tank, our kids of coarse wanted everyone from Finding Nemo. Needless to say we began with the Nemos, Bubbles, and Dory. We could not seem to keep the Hippo Tang (Dory) from having ick. It seemed as every little thing would make her break out. I tried soaking the food in Garlic, putting her in quarintine tank. She would get better in the quarintine tank but then to put her back in the regular tank, we were back to square one again. She eventually gave up and died. I want another one but I don't want all the problems. That was my first experience with the hippo tang. She also caused alot of other problems in my tank so I don't want to end up with the problems now that I've finally got my tank back in shape. I currently have a yellow tang, 6 line wrasse, algae blenny, and a pair of diamond gobies. I also started with corals: bubble, star polyps, and zooanthids. So, I want some pretty movement in the tank. Any help for a future hippo tang would be great or any other suggestions for color and movement?????

Oh, I just got a huge saddle carpet yesterday, so I'm going to get a pair of saddle clowns once I find them.
