Setting Tank water level in 130C

I have a new 130, and wanted to see if people have the same main tank water level. Wasn't sure if this was too high and how to lower it. The water is at the brace on the right hand side, at times water is slightly above.

When you say the "brace on the right hand side" I assume you are talking about the 1 inch horizontal piece of glass on the right? (the tank itself will always be the same level based on the height of the overflow.) In other words, you can't control the water level in the main tank, the overflow isn't adjustable.
The manufacturers recommended water level in the BACK is represented by the plastic bar on the sump viewing windows on either side of the sump on the outside of the tank.

My RSM130C looks exactly the same as Jeff has posted. For the first time in 6 months the tank has salt creep to the outside of the tank (I think this is related to the high water level). I believe the water should be just below the glass that sticks out one inch from the top. About a month ago I recall my tank water line was below the glass and everything was running good / no salt creep. I have a hang on back and sump. I also have a auto top off to maintain a consistent water volume. I'm wondering if lowering the ATO sensor (reduce water volume) may help lower the display tank volume? As stated the tank built in overflow is not adjustable. My tank is level. Any suggestions?
