Visine eye dropper for dispensing Prime dechlorinator in nanos

TLDR: 1 drop of prime from a visine bottle dechlorinates a 2 liter or 1/2 gallon of water.

Since I'm cheap, I don't want to buy diluted dechlorinator so I use Prime. It's a little bit difficult to get an accurate dosage for nano tanks however since 1 ml is for 10 gallons. So I took an 8ml visine eye dropper, cleaned it out, and filled it with tap water, and counted the drops. 180 drops for 8 ml of liquid. This translates to 22 drops per ml, or 2.2 drops per gallon.

So I filled up the bottle with prime and use 1 drop per 2 liter bottle of water.

Now if only I could devise an easy method for dosing dry ferts in a nano :|
