From your DF folder, go to the "data" folder, then "init", then the "init" text file. There's an option, [SHOW_FLOW_AMOUNTS:NO]. Change that to YES.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

go to c/blah blah/Dwarf Fortress/data/init and open the init.txt file from there then search (ctrl+F)for SHOW_FLOW_AMOUNTS it will show:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Set this to YES to display fluids as numbers indicating depth.

[SHOW_FLOW_AMOUNTS:NO]
----------------------------------------------------------------
change the NO to YES and all liquid in game be it magma or water will show as numbers 1-7 indicating its current depth on that tile.
