I'd run it but turn down the water level. Looks like you got a real head of foam on that dude! If you can't get it to mellow out, there's no harm in shutting it down for a while. Not much to skim out yet!
How are you cycling? (dead shrimp, starter fish, ammonium chloride, bacteria in a bottle?)

I have the same skimmer! The adjustments are a PIA!! I ran mine along with cycle so it could slime up. The biggest issue I've had is finding the right water level for it to sit in. The instructions say, IIRC, 8-9 inches. This turns out to be WRONG! It was just about impossible to have any control at that depth. The output was under water! Nick, aka Lokii_37, has the same model. He contacted the company and got better info than the really pitiful included instructions.
Yours looks good. I don't think it matters much if you run it or not. It's all about going slow anyway!
Are you feeding the bacteria? I have some ammonium chloride if you need it. LMK, I could bring it to the meet tomorrow.

Now all I have to do is remember to bring it!
My skimmer is not as quiet as I'd like. It's not a vibration so much as the hummmmm!
I bought a silicone hot pad from Sur la Table that 'one of these days' I'm going to cut up and put under the stand legs. I think there is quite a bit of resonance being in a glass sump.
