Default Drip Sumps?

I wanted to build the following setup:

My 20 gallon with a siphon to rows of Arizona Green Tea bottles, (with mangroves), and then eventually to drip down into a 5 gallon bucket. Now my only problem is that I have to manually draw the water from the bucket and add it to the top. I was going to do an automatic top off system, but does anybody know how to get the water to siphon back to the tank?

You would have to have a pump to go up, liquid doesnt siphon up.
