Oh man that's one of my favorite soups! What kind of meat does she use for the meatballs Kevin?
Well, they are bought frozen made by a local company that also makes the best Italian sausage, and I never tried it but sauce as well as other Italian products.

It looks fantastic. If you weren't my buddy, I'd be jealous.

Walker, I have missed you buddy. It sounds like you've been more than busy. I was going back through my old r2r content and found my first post. The first response was from you, then the rest of the Smorgasbord chimed in too!
I remember how encouraged I felt after reading this. I immediately went out and bought mushrooms and the zoas I still have to this day.

I’m pretty sure the pm in the second picture was the one I sent telling you that you were in over your head and that you should find a new hobby like fishing since you were so close to water. I kinda feel bad about it now.
 
I deserve no credit but the Mrs made Italian wedding soup.

Haha one of my favorites! I saved all of those pms. That's what kept me moving forward.
 
Yessir it will
I have a piece of coral skeleton from when I was about 10, my dad brought it back from a fishing trip. he said it came up on the anchor shackle . It still had flesh, had to soak it to get it cleaned to the skeleton. I will get it out and share a picture of it. when I can.

That would be so cool to bring it back to life so to speak. I would love to see it. Any ideas on what you want to attach to it?
 
Dwarf puffers eating frozen blood worms. I think this is their least favorite food I will have to get one of them attacking live black worms and when I figure out how to separate the white worms that Wes sent me from the dirt one of them eating them. They love live foods better than frozen.

looking at what color would go good in my tank, also not one of the bulkier encrusters
