If you want an alert system that notifies your phone - I use this from Amazon (SmartLIfe Water Sensor). My Protein skimmer is on a WiFi power strip that I can power of individual plugs (in this case sensor).

Link doesn’t work. You need to click on the little icon near or under the item on its page.

That’s better than what I bought but you need an Apex. :)
I'm too paranoid to run my tanks without an Apex. Even my 10 gallon nano has an Apex with a Trident... then again, I also run a chiller on every tank and I live in alaska....

$63 on Amazon. Mini condensation pump. Run the output skimmer line into this and the other to a drain (or out the window). I have one attached to my water heater. lifts it 8 feet then pumps it 40 feet and into my basement sump.

Interesting if you have access to a drain.
