Drip dosing

I built a simple drip doser as an ATO back in the day using nothing more than a glass ice tea jar and regular airline tube with a flow regulator. The airline connected to the jar where the spout normally is towards the bottom of the jar. You just start a siphon and use the regulator to slow it down to whatever speed you need. The only drawback is obviously the jar has to be above the sump (or tank) for this to work.
 
If you have a dosing pump or an ATO, you could use one of them. What are you trying to achieve from dosing phytoplankton?
 
Unless you have something to shake the phytoplankton bottle multiple times a day it may not be worth it. I know my live phytoplankton settles to the bottom of the bottle within an hour of dosing it.
