I have a 1/2 acre pond
Ph is 6.8 and total alkalinity is 40ppm
Average depth is around 12ft

How much lime should I add?

Down, But Not Out

You need to know what your waters hardness is.
Hardness is slightly different
You need at least 20 ppm
Here�s a link that tells the difference between alkalinity and hardness
