Hopefully you guys will find this as interesting as I did. I was thinking about the scientific naming process and was curious about the English translations. After some searching, I found this article that kind of shows what I'm talking about. If you scroll down a little, you can see a break down of how the yellow tang was named. Does anyone else know some interesting name translations or a resource to find more?

Wow that was actually very interesting. But im not sure that yellow tangs are zebra striped. The one in the first picture looked like a baby that hadn't colored up yet is all. Anyways I digress. That was a great read and I think lots of people would be interested if you repost this with info about the article in the title. Maybe "making sense of latin names" or something.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
