I used a 1/2 pill of large breed Interceptor on my 180 and it wiped them out. Watch out for AEFW's shortly there after.
Red bugs! This sucks!!!!

interceptor worked great for the redbug problem I had but in the long run it ended up destroying my mature reef tank.
The interceptor killed all the worms that were in my liverock and that caused a continious phosphate problem. Hair algae took over and killed all my corals. After fighting algae for a year with huge water changes, large amounts of GFO and lanthanam I ended up bleaching and acid washing 200 lbs of rock and starting over.
It hasn't been a fun process but my system is finally ready for corals after a year long maturing process for the tank.

I just did my treatment with a 1/4 of a pill and I did it over night for about 12 hours. This is not the recommended protocol but something came up and I was unable to do the water change as planned. After 12 hours not one redbug remained on a few of my heavily infested colonies. lost a few hermits that i could not recover. so far no negative effects on anything else, but I now have great polyp extension on my sps that was infected.
