This is 100% correct, I have seen way too many tanks with oils slick syndrome, always have the surface water move to the overflow box.

The foam in the overflow box doesn't sound quite right either, is it falling for quite a drop after going over the overflow? sounds like the overflow is acting as a skimmer.
