1. A system for displaying information related to a fluid level in an above-ground storage tank, comprising:
the above-ground storage tank adapted to store a predefined level of multiple types of fluids, wherein the predefined level of the multiple types of fluids is from 400 gallons to 30,000,000 gallons; and
at least one sensor located at the above-ground storage tank, the at least one sensor being adapted to detect a first fluid from the multiple types of fluids and a first level of the first fluid to define a first detected fluid level,
wherein the at least one sensor is in communication with a fluid indicator,
wherein the fluid indicator comprises a plurality of lights arranged proximate to an exterior surface of the above-ground storage tank, wherein the plurality of lights is arranged such that when a first proportion of a light is electrified and illuminated, the illumination visually indicates the first detected fluid level, and
wherein the at least one sensor is adapted to detect a second fluid from the multiple types of fluids and a second level of the second fluid to define a second detected fluid level, and wherein a first color of the plurality of lights indicates at least one of a status of the first fluid from the multiple types of fluids and a type of the first fluid at a first defined volume, and a second color of the plurality of lights indicates a status of the second fluid from the multiple types of fluids and a type of the second fluid at a second defined volume.
