Do white bugs require a higher dosage than red bugs?

I've had white bugs and followed the suggestion to dose 3 (23mg each) per 100g. 3 treatments 1 week apart. Skimmer off for the 1st 12h after dose.

I've done 6 pills per 100g to treat for the black bugs.
Did this kill the black bugs?
 
I did 1 large pill / 50 gal for 6 weeks. I akin it to a chemo treatment -- takes the tank to the breaking point. I have subsequently had bacteria blooms, cyano (had to treat), and still some lingering dino. Bacteria was def impacted -- I lost a ton of PE after the first 3 weeks of it (first 3 were amazing). I lost a lot of colors in various acro's too. For example, my large, very red, tsa carolina reaper turned green. I had another turn green. However, all my tenuis corals colored UP and had great PE while acro's & LPS had reduced PE. The tank is recovering and everything is looking much better and coloring up -- no white bugs :)
