OK, I can admit now...I didn't own a proper water quality test kit until
tonight. I bought one, and tested out OK, so I can freely admit that I had
not tested the water, ever, until now. Nedra, Ingrid, John, k30a...no
comments from the peanut gallery.

So here are my results:

pH: 8.5...It was not 8.0 and it was not 9.0, so I guesstimated at 8.5.
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Salinity: .02

Any other tests I should own?
