A full description of the pH control for this system can be found in Kroeker et al. 2021, but in short: pH was regulated using a relay system that controlled mixing of pre-equilibrated low-pH seawater (formed by bubbling pure CO2 gas into seawater: pH6.0) and ambient pH seawater into 9 header buckets (n=3 headers per pH treatment) that then flowed into the experimental aquaria.
