I just use a pump stopper kit, from Aquahub, modified for my use with dual floats, a siren, and heavy duty cord. If I ever lose siphon (never have, even when I swapped out contents), the float in the tank triggers a dpdt relay to shut off pump. If that float ever fails, there is a second one in the sump if the water gets below it.
Here are some pics.
1 - Normal operation
2. - left/tank float tripped
3. - right/sump float tripped
