The volume of the Oceans hold lots of Carbon and it is in a balance?
I do not think the Oceans are acidic?

Well, you think wrong then.

easy to do ph test and calc out just how much carbonate is locked up?

The lower the pH value, the higher the acidity of a liquid. Solutions with low pH are acidic and solutions with high pH are basic (also known as alkaline). Prior to the Industrial Revolution, average ocean pH was about 8.2. Today, average ocean pH is about 8.1.

Thanks for explaining 6th grade science to me, let me return the favor by explaining 6th grade English.

Ocean-acidification doesn't mean "it is turning acidic in absolute terms", i.e. a pH below 7.0.

It means the ocean's pH is shifting towards the acidic end, relatively to its pre-industrial levels.

And as you are correctly saying, that's already happening. 8.2 to 8.1 is exactly that. A shift towards the acidic end. The 0.1 change is already affecting coral reefs and other ecosystems.

Since you're referring to the EPA, here is their dedicated site on the topic:
