You can very easily make a minor adjustment to any canister filter that will eliminate the possibility of your tank draining onto the floor.
On the intake tube, drill a small hole in the tanks side of the intake, about an inch below the water line. If the tank water level ever drops below the hole, the intake will suck air thru the hole and break the syphon, preventing much water from draining.
It is usually not necessary to do this on the outlet hose, as most outlets discharge near the surface. If yours discharges deeper into the tank, a hole can be drilled into the outlet tube an inch or so below the water line.
Obviously, if your filter were running and the water level dropped too low, you'd run the risk of harming your filter. That shouldn't be a problem unless you're tank is open and loses a lot of water to evaporation. Something to consider when you choose where to drill the hole. Still, I'd rather lose a filter than have 75 gallons seeping thru the floor....
