Question about Buffering Capacity in pond!

That's what I've been doing. ) Many people claim that baking soda will
bring it down, and I was wondering if anyone here had experienced that
phenomenon. Perhaps it is another wishful thinking myth? ~ jan

If anyone out there has experience with bringing down a pH with baking
soda, I'd like to know just how much does one needs to add? I've used up to
2 pounds in 1,000 gallons and didn't see the 9+ pH budge. Testor goes to
9.5 so I had the range to know just how high it was. ~ jan
