Alright guys its primed and set to the highest point do I just wait now until its broken in and then begin to slowly lower it.

This skimmer has been out of stock forever. I'm glad you were able to pick one up! I said forget it and went with a JNS WS-1. :o

Good luck!

Yes.
Leave the cup high for now until you start getting a consistent foam head in the body. After that you can lower the cup incrementally and monitor for an hour or so between adjustments until you get the skimmate you desire.
