Aquamaxx HOB 1 overflow?

17g cube
2 ocellated clowns and some lps
Barebottom
14lbs live rock
Wavemaker

I got a AQUAMAXX hob1 skimmer , 3rd day now didn't skim much but pushes some foam and some crud to the top of the plate, I ran it in vinegar and water to speed break in and never overflowed from what others are experiencing.

The intake is halfway into the tank Im having OCD of it overflowing 1 day half the tank to the floor? Even though it has a drain on the cup I saw videos where the bubbles are rushing out the top pass the drain. I'm planning to do a 30g , same bioload. What can I do to prevent water onto the floor? Or should I just go skimmerless? What if I cut the intake pipe in half would it affect the skimmer?
