To remove
the lime, you might try the quilt batting that some use for removal of some
of the green water algae. If there is very much of the lime in the pond, it
will clog the quilt batting quickly, so it may need to be cleaned several
times.

Okay, got some polyester batting. Put it in my skimmer, over the
pump. Added floculant. Added sluge-eating bacteria. Left it
overnight.

Wow! That stuff really traps some dirt!! The water isn't clear yet,
but it's a whole lot better.

Now I'd better go out and check on the pH and hardness again, and get
some of that liquid lime.

THANK YOU, from me and the fish.
