My pond is 1.5 acre. I've added 5 tons of crushed gravel lime and 1500lbs of powdered garden Agg lime. My ph is between 5-6 but can't get it up any higher. I'm waiting to stock fish until I can get it between 7-8. My pond is surrounded by pine trees so most of the runoff is very acidic. Since I have no fish, could I add some hydrated lime to boost my ph quicker and would it stay at a higher level or just drop back down to 5 in a month or so?
Thanks in advance for the advice guys
