Hambone, Dolomite Limestone (Ag Lime) is cheap, and readily available in our area. It will react fairly quickly with the acidic water and raise the pH over a couple months. Not so fast you will have to worry about any gas release or visible reactions. Amending the watershed soils will be a huge benefit for years to come also.
Top dressing the soils in your case would provide the most benefit in the fastest way for you. Till more in next year when the pond has stabilized for added years before needing more.
I paid $10/ton for Ag Lime, delivered and spread with a 10 ton minimum. Truck came from 25 miles away.
