We had cabinets installed without hardware. Now we want handles and knobs but will need to put them on ourselves.

Hope this is what you are asking!
Start by leveling your base for the storage tank. This usually done with gravel/sand with pavers or concrete blocks on top that are leveled.
Trying to answer again & sorry that the sensor suggestions won't work for you. I doubt you can get an accurate indicator of the water line unless you have a sensor internally in the tank. You may be able to get a "guesstimate" by using sound. Sort of like searching for a stud behind drywall.....use a hammer or tool to tap on the outside of the tank and as you tap up and down in a certain area you'll "hear" a difference in tone where the water is and isn't. That's the best I've got!
