Mixing Magnesium with Part C in dosing container

[Zeeth]

I am currently dosing 3 part with Soda Ash, Calcium Chloride, Part C, and Magnesium mix in a 1:1:2:0.055 ratio but I'd like to free up a dosing pump if possible to dose chaetogro. I've seen people saying they mix the Part C as 2X concentration so they can more easily dose at a 1:1:1 ratio, and since part C is mostly Magnesium, could I just add that 5.5% magnesium to my part C container when I mix? If so, is it also okay to mix this at 2X concentration? Just want to make sure I'm on the right track with dosing without causing issues with solubility of the solution in my dosing container or getting precipitate. Thanks for any help!

Yes, part C can mix with magnesium additives. 2x is likely fine.
