Utilizing an intelligent dual-action solid-state sensor mounted in the collection cup, the system actively monitors foam wetness and accumulation heights. If the system detects a sudden rise in wet foam—often triggered by heavy feeding or aquarium additives—it throttles the pump's RPM down to prevent a messy cup overflow while continuing to aerate the
