Fb tube defaults

I am not sure where to post bf tube questions - please advise on preferred location
Received my tube yesterday - very excited. Ran a stack yesterday and found the step distance to be very small - lovely image though. I could not distinguish between processing a 200 image stack one processed using just the even number images which suggested I could use a step distance twice as high as that recommended by the configuration app for my 100 mm L canon lens since that many slices would not work for quick field work. However, it was great for studio images.
Presumably , if I want to reset things easily without "spoiling" the supplied parameters for the canon 100mm , all I need to do is to create a "dummy 75", dummy 100 and dummy 125 lens (for f16) and upload the data from that using the configuration app. I understand the software does not recognize the lens so will not mind if I use a different "lens name"??
I also found that my 2 year old 100mm canon L 2.8 lens does not seem to step properly in live view on th e5DSR - does that mean it does not qualify as a recent canon lens?
Is there somewhere where users are posting their fb tube images and experiences? I would like to share learning and mistakes??
Sorry for all this newbie stuff
