either drill a small hole in the top, just below the water line of your return line, or use a high quality check valve on your return line. The hole will allow for air to enter the line after it drains to that point, breaking the siphon. Work with your water level to deretmine the placement of the hole. Angle the hole down into the tank so it doesn't spray water out of your tank until the level of water covers it back up. A 1/4 inch hole works well for most aplications.
