Don't panic. With redbugs you have time to treat without rushing.

If you do an in tank treatment, the original dosing method called for 1 tablet to treat up to 380 gallons.

Revised method has used from 5 to 10 times the concentration without problems.

The red bugs aren't supposed to lay eggs, so a one time treatment is supposed to be adequate.

Remove any crabs or shrimps that you want to keep, before treating.

Should I do a large water change and treat with carbon after treatment?

Yep. Have your water made up and ready to go.
