You just can't plan for every eventuality, who knows what's going to happen. Small spills can be cleaned up pretty easily with towels, mops, vacums etc, large spills are a different story. If any of my tanks were to burst and dump thier entire contents on the ground I'd simply call my insurance company.
What I do when I spill water is break out the Bissel Carpet Cleaner. Works like a charm. The only permenant damage I have recieved is from my filing cabinet. Some salt water got underneath it and I forgot to move it. It rusted and left a stain on the carpet. As long as I never move my files it will never be seen! :-)

The worst I have had is to sand and paint the wall and that was because of my neglect. The problem was from a very fine mist from splashing, like from HOB (hang on back) filters and sumps. The mist contains salt and over time can ruin the paint and/or drywall. I'm sure if I would have wiped the wall off every 2 or 3 weeks with a warm damp cloth I would have had no problems at all. The floor can be a different story where a lot more water could accumulate causing more damage.
I would have no worries with a self contained nano cube or something similar before you get into sumps and external skimmers, it's probly the best place to start. It will give you some time to read more and ask more questions. You have been asking great questions by the way. I wish I had done some research first, it would have saved me lots of time, money and frustration. As far as glass breaking and silicone seams letting go. I believe that most nano setups are acrylic and any risk of failure would be extremely minimal.
