an apex + io break out box + http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BKQ75G will cut off your return pump

Not sure what size of display tank you have but after adding up all the parts needed, you probably should look at the cost of a new tank with overflow built in. My guess is it wouldnt be much more for a new custom tank... few hundred more?

Thanks. This could be the perfect excuse to buy an apex!

I don't blame the overflow because it did return to full flow on it's own so there was no break in the siphon. Right now I'm blaming my biggest hermit and Im thinking of trading all my big hermits in for little ones.

The tank is 70 gal and it would be nice to get a new drilled tank but it would be a pita to switch over.

I came home today to what potentially could have been the same situation as yours. When I looked over at the tank,I spotted my Anem in my sump. He must have decided to go for a walk/float while I was at work. Made it through the external overflow and into the sump without spilling a drop. must have been a nice ride.
