your method might work but there is a better way to do it.
First you must understand that the active compound in garlic is only released upon injuring or cutting the clove. The compound is presumably used as a chemical defence much as sap is used by some trees. What this means is that the smaller you can chop the garlic and the more surface area you can open up the better for the transfer of the compound.
I find a lot of fish quite enjoy eating the chopped garlic directly, but I do not overfeed my fish. Some fish refuse anything but premium frozen foods if they are spoiled.
IMO if your fish will not eat the garlic itself, then you are better off just rubbing the freshly chopped garlic on the Nori just before feeding. You could also try rubbing and compressing the garlic onto the nori. I feel that adding saltwater into the mixing equation is of no benefit and problably dilutes the active compound. In the same sense I don't feel that the garlic treated nori will be of any value after a few minutes of being placed in the tank if uneaten.
