Mixing Magnesium, Lanthanum and Vinegar?

[pixelhustler]

I’ve been dosing lanthanum chloride for phosphate control with much success. I’d looking to simplify my dosing by combining some products.

Would it be okay to mix magnesium, lanthanum chloride and vinegar and dose everything from one reservoir?

Dilution of vinegar can allow bacteria to grow in it, ruining it, and chemically lanthanum hydroxide and lanthanum oxide may precipitate [edited for correctness]

Actually, I need to retract what i said above. Lanthanum hydroxide is less soluble than I thought and it will likely preciptiate in either normal kalkwasser, or the vinegar solution you mention. Sorry.
