Anyone make there own coral food?

I stumbled across this and wondered if anyone has tried it? It was also in a book I read...

The Corals in Your Aquarium Need Food as Well as Light

Many corals in Saltwater Aquariums require more food than they derive from light alone in order to grow and propagate.

Many people make their own version of rods food. The big thing for me is to only use items that are cleanish when they break down. This means using krill over shrimp. Scallops over clams/mussels. I stay away from most fish unless it's something extra white like halibut but even then just minimal. The base should always be mysis shrimp or brine shrimp then fine chopped krill then other fillers like scallops or squid. Last I enrich mine with amino acids. puree the mix and put in a ziplock bag in the freezer flat.

I ended making the recipe above. It stays suspended very nicely. Must be the powdered sea greens
