Anyone tried to make their own frozen gelatin-based formulas (ie like Ocean Nutrition frozen "Formula 1" etc)?

Anyone want to share their recipes?

I've made my own food mixture for years.
Raw Seafood Medley
Raw Tiger Prawns with shell
Raw Scallops
Nori sheets-cut up in small little chunks with scissors first
PI Mysis
Garlic Extract
Make sure you rinse it all really good especially the mysis. I use a fine fish net for that.
Put in a food processor and chop up.
Put in a ziploc freezer bag (will fill 2 of the large) and use a rooling pin and roll flat and freeze flat.
Once it's frozen than just peal off the ziploc bag and cut the food in to individual peices and put in a container.
Cost is about $60 if you buy good stuff and lasts close to a year with feeding 1 cube morning/night.
I than just unthaw cube in a little container of the tank water and just dump in. All my fish love it.
No need for gelatin and also make sure everything is RAW
