I break the wafer up into four pieces and toss it into different parts 
of the tank.

Hmm, well, my oto seems to love them. Little bugger will camp out on 
them until he has snarfed up the pieces..

YMMV.

One other thing I do is let one wall of the tank go and not scrape it. 
The back wall of my tank has a nice coating of diatoms on it which I do 
nothing to prevent. Kind of a snack bar for the oto and the hillstream 
loaches.
