    Each one was the highest value I could get to stay steady at each level:

    1ft-750
    2ft-242
    3ft-111

    I'll keep the set up the way it is for a little while if anyone wants me to check anything else. For the review thread, see here: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?... dimmable par38

    Looks good. A DSB will not work in a nano though, due to lack of surface area and possibly the edge effect.
