That would work fine and 1 litre would last a fairly long time
for an average to large sized tank.

If you have access to hospital IV tubing, get what is commonly called
a "mini-drip". These things drip such tiny drops that a 1000 ml bag
would last a few days. Find a nurse to tell you exactly how many mls
per minute you can set it for.
