 ECA "Slow Drop"
In my quest to develop a mini diy drop checker, I inadvertantly developed a way to slowly release ECA into my aquarium. About three drops can be added that will slowly leech into the water in approx. 10 minutes (thus, I've affectionately named it ECA SLOW DROP). It certainly isn't necessary, nor may it have any benefits (to be determined), but it's dirt cheap (for some people, free) and neat to watch. I'm sure it can also be used to distribute Green Bacter, Phyton Git, etc.
All it is, is the end cut off the internal inkwell of a ballpoint pen (preferably a pilot g2) and one of those ADA airline holders. By placing the top of the cut-off barely above the water's surface, adding ECA drops will slowly "leak" into the water via a pin-sized hole already on the inkwell end cap. Maybe this will help explain:
