Default Steve's RSM 250 retrofit leds

Bought this RSM 250 set up last spring and have never really been happy with the led's, light intensity is controlled by a Typhoon controller with 4 channels each having there own times on and off as to sunrise and sunset. I never have been happy with the overall brightness and started to read the installation instructions on the Steve's online support. Well after a lot of reading I came accross a section on the manual dimmers. The instruction say to turn up the dimmers to the highest settings counterclockwise.
But when I picked up the tank the guy I bought it from said to leave the dimmers turned up all the way to the highest position in the clockwise position because of the Typhoon controller doing the adjustments, So it turns out the dimmers have been set all this time to the lowest intensity do to what the seller had them set to.
Needless to say it made a H*ll of a difference to the overall light intensity by reversing the settings on the dimmers.
