Dosing mag with pump

I have just set up my 2 part (cal. alk.) on a dosing pump setup. I am using the homemade recipe. I got a good deal on my dosing pumps. It came with 3 modules of which I am only using 2 right now. I was wondering if there would be any problem setting up the third to dose my mag. I would have it setup to only dose a little each day. I would set it so it would add a total of 2 1/2 cups per each gallon of 2 part. Dose anyone see a problem with this? I don't see many people doing it this way.

It is a great Idea! just make sure that #1, #2, and #3 do not come in contact with each other.

Just remember to test the water

That should be fine, just remember to test the magnesium level from time to time.
