Excess DIY food

[Cjtabares]

I’m not sure what thread would be the right for this, but I was planning on making my own food. I am not even set up yet, so it might be a while. I don’t know what the price would be, and know that might affect someone’s decision, but if I make food, and have excess would people be interested in buying any?

Still would need to find everything, but a rough estimate from what I just looked would be around $3.00 per oz for something similar to Rods Original, but this could change depending on what I decide to add or not add. Just kind of curious if there would be interest at the right cost. I am going to start my cycle as soon as everything is in, and don’t anticipate needing a ton of food over the 1st year. It is only a 45gal with probably 7 fish introduced over the first 4-6 months, then adding coral when it is stable. Even after that I think the 5/6 lbs of food will be too much. It seems like something I would enjoy doing, and cheaper than buying commercially available food.

I make my food with a bag of frozen mixed seafood from Aldi's, some salmon and a bag of shrimp. Pop it in the food processor and then put them in freezer bags. They'll last for you quite a long time.
