Default Vertex Alpha 170 Skimmer Advice

I just set up my Vertex Alpha skimmer and have a couple of questions. As of right now the wedgepipe is pretty much wide open and the adjustment nozzle on the pump is only open about 3-4 turns.

1. My water level is 9 inches which is within guidelines. Based on the pictures below does this look ok.

2. Right now I have bubbles coming up to basically the top of the collection cup where. Does this look right (or is it too early to say).

3. In the cone, there is white foam just above the bubble plate - does that look ok?

Based on these pics, anything else you would recommend. I know it is early days with this, but any advise is appreciated.
