Well I did an experiment taking the afected acroporas out of the tank to keep them in a bucket for a week and let temperature get down to 22°Celsius.

Well the theory seems to work but I lost one acropora frag I believe because temp went below 22°C a midnight or so, I only monitored temp at morning and at evenining.

I believe I should have keep a heater to not let temp get lower than 22°C

Well I returned the acroporas to the main tank after the seventh day, to let any remaining bug in the tank die without having a host, Right now I belive I'm clean of redbugs so I can tell temp do kill red bugs but if you do not monitor closely you have a risk of having RTN also.
