I found an interesting scenario...
I put my osmolator behind the skimmer without the foam in place. It was running really well, top up was working great. I then tried putting in the foam and a bag of carbon on top. I noticed that the foam/carbon slowly restricts flow and decreases the water height behind the skimmer where the osmolator is. This then causes the osmolator to pump in more water which increases tank water volume. I watched for a day or so and it just kept slowly climbing. So before a flood occurs, I took out the foam and carbon and everything is back to normal.
Thought to share this in case... just to save a potential spill...
