Yep.. A trip to a local "Container Store" or similar yields all sorts of fun dosing containers,etc...

Good to know I'm not the only one who wonders through a dollar store wondering how I can turn stuff into reef projects

It would be an interesting conversation piece to use old liquor bottles as dosing containers in plain sight... "yes.. I give my tank some from that rum bottle, A little tequila, and some vodka"
