Move diffuser shallower and this might be a good time to engineer an underground supply line to the second pond for drought AND temp control.
I'm not sure the 5gal ice chunk would make much difference, it would be like an ice cube from your ice maker in a 10gal container.

I will let someone other than I do the math to see how much ice is needed. I'm lucky if I can do simple multiplication and I might need my fingers and toes to do it. Anyway.....

To drop water 10°F, you need 1/2# of ice per gallon of water.
