We have our tank in our crawl space (Cement Slab), and it's a PITA to go and check the level. I was considering a remote gauge, and was wondering if anyone has tried one and had any input as to it's reliability.....here's one we considered, there is also one that is called "The Rocket" (similar)

Because there is a power outlet near our tank, I set up a cheap ($30) wireless webcam that looks at the existing gage.
It only shows the gage in daylight but that is enough to keep an eye on the level

I can view it on my iPhone from anywhere.
