Ok as it has been breaking in (only first day) I've had to open it wide open and its still near the top of neck.... SO i raised the skimmer by putting it on a block and cut 1.5 inchs off the riser pipe.  Now wide open is just at the transition.  Now i can sleep comfortably and it will allow more adjustment once it breaks in.

You worry to much man :)

It's just tea colored right now. Still breaking in. It's still finicky so I don't want to raise the water level too fast. I just bump it up a little each day

I'm not sure if my MSX200 is over sized for my 90 but I don't get much skim.  I have 3 anthias, 2 clowns and a wrasse and I only feed one cube of Mysis every other day so maybe I need to bump up the feeding to sell coffee colored skim.
