We guessed at 40 and saw a glimmer. At 45, we were able to discern tetras.

I really don't think they know how to get good calibration and it is *way* too sensitive to minor changes in lighting. My best suggestion is to experiment.
Actually, I hadn't even considered this. I'll have to raise the calibration values. We found a 25 in our gym on an overcast day, and they gave us 25 for the well lit stage. The tetras they have are much darker, though.
