Default Plumbing/Siphon/Water Disaster Avoidance Advice

I'm working on the group home aquarium set-up (yeah!), and I want to plumb a return line (from the sump) that enters near the bottom of the aquarium. Obviously, were the power to go out, it could create a siphon and empty almost the entire contents of the tank out into the sump, onto the floor, etc.

Thanks in advance
