The water in the tank is basic.

Explanation:

Acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution is determined through it pH value.

$pH=-log[H^{+}]$ , where $[H^{+}]$ is concentration of $H^{+}$ (in molarity) in solution.

As a matter of fact, a pH scale has been established such as:

Acidic ( $0\leqslant pH$ ), Neutral ( pH=7 ) and Basic ()

As pH = 8.0 lies in the basic range of pH scale therefore the water in the tank is basic.
