I have this information related to lowering pH in a fish pond.
Muriatic acid (31% HCl) a doses of approximately 2 fluid ounces per
1000 gallons per day until you reach the desired pH. The acid
consumes the KH (alkalinity or carbonate hardness, the thing that
stabilizes pH in a fish pond.).
Muriatic acid is used for cleaning concrete and you can buy it in the
building supply section of Lowe's or other hardware type stores for a
few dollars a gallon and that will last you a long time.
Always pour acid into the water. Never pour water into the acid!
