setting up hospital tank for saltwater fish with ICK?

ok so I have a striped puffer with ick its not too bad yet, question is I read hospital tanks shoud be bare bottom with nothing in it so if you do that then the tank isnt cycled so would I do just more water changes? also all I have and was thinking of using was a TOTE container for the tank, I have a jet, and a heater. with a hospital tank do you need a filter? please comment on what was the best treatment (ick remover) you used.
