Default DIY spot feeder

Well I was rummaging through the house looking for something to spot feed my flame scallop. I searched and searched for anything that worked like a suringe or eye dropper but couldn't find anything. Finally my search ended at the bathroom. Ah hah! An old eye solution bottle (tiny one at that maybe an ounce). I grabbed it out of the trash took off the label and washed the inside out with water. Then I grabbed my phytoplankton, put some in a little bowl, then squeezed the eye solution bottle till I couldn't anymore, put the tip in the phytoplankton and let the bottle slowly inflate as it filled with phyto. Then I tried it in the tank and it works pretty darn good. My flame scallop is thanking me. I also thought if you had an old bottle of visine (for red eyes) that would also make a good spot feeder. (whether id be bloodworms, brine, etc)
