Isent back your E-Mail on the damm did I understand the problem. Also are you sure the pond needs that amount of lime.
We lime approx 240 ponds and lakes each year and you seem to be putting a large amount in if the lake is 2 1/2 acres. Imight use a little less calcium is a high plant nutrient, is your total water hardness below 25 ppm.Also alkalinity low below 30 ppm. You might disrupt your eco -system within the pond for a few weeks. You should pull a soil test in several spots and test. In short if you overlime you might lock up your availability of nutrients held in the pond mud. I would not suggest any fertilizer for a few weeks give the lime at least 4 weeks to work if your inflow is moderate. Also do not want to raise ph to quickly depends on what size ag lime you use.
Forget the liquid lime tried it in 6 different waters not happy with end result
