No worries, it's a big thread to read through ...
I use carbon and gfo in 2 TLF 150s, and change each @ 4 weeks, 2 weeks apart

I agree it should be a noted issue, but I'm kinda at a loss to figure it out
Causes of random skimmer overflows are, with a constant water level;
Blocked air intake
Plugged or dirty/buildup in venturi
Anything else ?
Back to my observations ...
My foam head collapses at about 5 or 6 days after a WC, and does not recover until after another 10% WC
I've tried turning the skimmer off during frozen feedings; turning it off for a 1/2hr when it's acting up; total cleaning when it's acting up
I haven't had my hands in the tank for many weeks, and am very careful about what does go in
I'm at a loss here, so hence the weird questions about coral warfare and possible 'stuff' in the water building up causing my foam to collapse over time
