The higher the waterlevel is in comparison to your inlets and outlets, the less foam effect you will get. In my reservoir (H X W X D - 5" X 5" X 2.5") has barbs on a 5 x 5 front piece positioned on the lowest part of it. If filled more than 2/3 of the way I get no foam, but if it is under that i get a lil bit of foam. It is rather harmless though, I think?
