Sentinel treatment guidance

Hey guy's in need of some guidance on this treatment I want to eliminate my red bugs. What I do have is sentinel flavored tab for small dogs from 5.75mg milbemycon oxime/115 mg lufenuron, which should be enough to treat my tank once I think ??. My system is about 70 gallons with lots of Sps some large and small including a few delicates I don't want to loose(red dragon, Hawkins, 20k leagues lokani). I know I will have to do 20% water change and run active carbon after 12 hours. In the past I have done interceptor treatments but it's no longer available and I want to make sure everything goes well. Anything else anyone with experience can add will be appreciated! I plan on doing it tonight because I have a day off tomorrow.
 
I used 3/4 large breed tab on a 90g display with 30g fuge... probably 100-110g total volume considering displacement. I also used a full tab on one of the treatments. Absolutely no issues other than a slight increase in nutrients. Tank full of SPS, several bubble tip anemones, and decorative starfish. All were unaffected.
 
I used/am using 1/3 of a large dog pill on my 60. I let it soak for 12 hours then do a 10% water change and run carbon for a few days. My only issue was I lost a cleaner shrimp I could not get out, but that was a high probability when I started with out removing it.

Not sure if one small dog pill will be enough for your system. I was right on the border for that sized pill with my system.
 
Thanks for the info, I decided to wait on the treatment. I am going to order interceptor spectrum from Australia so I can do the 3 treatments. I have a question what carbon did you run and what are the appropriate dosages lets say per 50 gallons ?
