The foamwheel has been performing great for over two months and my two replacement impellers are sitting in a box. 
 
I have also done a gate valve mod and the skimming is much more consistent since then.

 do you have any photos of your mods that you can post. Your description of the foam sounds a bit like the foam that comes with the Little Fishes reactor???
