[Az-Geocaching] Pet fish problem

[EvilFISH]

yeah PH is 7.8 high but still ok, so am looking at those 2 issues of water 
quality being Hardness and Alkalinity( PH buffer).  Petco and Petsmart both 
offer free water test, but with that you get the Free advice from whatever 
source but Steve not only being a Cacher is a Water Professional so he 
should be able to save me and my fingers many hours searching...

fingers crossed,

oh yeah to make this cache related

I know something you don't know but it will be called TEF Rocketry: 
Impact.... placed more than likely this afternoon after doing another 
partial water fill using the RO and Deionized water, and Alex and I finish 
launching more rockets at Chuparosa Park..
