Dimming the Finnex 24/7

Is anyone dimming the Finnex 24/7? I wanted to get an idea how you have your settings and how far to the substrate and what size tank.

Mine:

40 Breeder

15 inches to soil

White 5/10
Green 10/10
Red 10/10
Blue 5/10

Trying to achieve a low to medium light. Plant growth is a little slow so far, but I'm only 2 weeks into it. Still in the cycle.

If you want to keep the setting, store it in one of the "M" buttons, and then put the fixture in that mode... it will remember it was on M1 (for example) and recall what M1 is set to at power-on.

To store a color, just press M1-M4 after adjusting colors, it will immediately overwrite the setting of that button with a new one.

As for settings, I'm on a 36 bowfront, I believe I am currently using:
white 7/10
red 7/10
green 0/10
blue 5/10

I'm pairing that up with a Planted+ that has a dimmer hacked in and is set to 50%. The 24/7 is all the way to the back, and the planted+ is at the front where the curve starts. I have a versatop, so the planted+'s impact on the back of the tank is shaded by the hinge.
