Ac110 basket is climbing out

[csnmusic02]

it pops up when your media is dirty just needs to be cleaned, once you clean it it will go back down.

But the media is supposed to be dirty. Biological muck is my friend.

But solid fish waste in your system is your enemy...

As others have suggested, when the media gets clogged and resistence builds, the sponge pops up... Cleaning the sponge will decrease resistence allowing the sponge to stay in place...

Personally, I put the sponge at the top of the filter box. This way when I slack off and don't clean the fitler it doesn't float.

I think it's a great idea to have a built in reminder when it's time to clean the filter... But I've seen situations where the sponge has popped up and allowed water to wick up and spill over the top of the filter. It's never been much water spilling out, but in my house any water on the living room floor is too much...

I double sponge mine like this:

from the bottom I have my sponge/bio media/sponge = crystal clear water.

I picked up a used AC110, the PO glued a piece of plastic in the box to keep the tray from rising.
There's not much of a lip in the box to retain the basket.
