Your water is nearing acid levels at a 6 add baking soda immediately. Take a good 8oz mix it realy well in a five gallon bucket. And pour it around your pond avoiding the fish .water temp should be similar to your pond . Keep doing this untill you reach a pH ofb7.5 to 8 this will also bring you kh up which I bet it below 50 and you want 200
