Yes, sure, I meant "newbie" (damn PC is not learning English as fast
as I wish
Muriatic acid is known, I thought it is used to cure concrete ponds
and is harmful to fish. If I am not mistaken it is HCl, so one of
compounds is very toxic to fish. What if Cl in certain conditions is
released to water?

Nubile?? I think you mean, newbie.

What kind of chemicals do you use to lower pH in your ponds?

None, zero, nada.

Which of them is suitable for my pond?

Those who insist on using chemicals will say only Muriatic (Hydrochloric)
Acid.

I just do not want to harm fish and plants.

More harm is done to fish by playing with pH than leaving it in the high
8's, but I realize some plants have trouble with the pH that high. I'd
still try to stabilize it in the low 8s using limestone chips, dolomite,
crushed coral, etc., rather than trying to get it lower.
