Jeff,

I'm not a pro but if it was my pond (and it's not), IMO I would leave it and spend a good bit of time on Tuesday doing water changes to slowly bring your stockers to the 6 PH before stocking. I would then get Ag lime to bring the PH to a safer level. My understanding is Hydrated lime is a very short term way to adjust PH to either lethal levels or to buffer additions of Alum.

Hopefully, a pro will chime in...

Bill D.
