Auto shut off skimmer collector questions?????

[Canadian Man]

So The auto collector shut off thing's that many sell-canreef ones for example.
Do they work only on beckett skimmers?
I have a monster venturi skimmer that overflowed this morning for some reason and I want to figure out a failsafe for this.

Oh BTW I think the possible reasons are nori in the tank as I have not had any in there since I added the skimmer.
Or I just did a 25g water change yesterday
Or something spawned last night(snails for example).

Thanks
