Premixing suplements????

Hi, I was thinking up premixing my calcium, Iodine, and Strontium/molybdenum into 1 gallon of water so i could just add 1 cup of the water/supplement mixture daily, does anyone know if this would be a good idea, or will the suppliments react with one another, causing chemical changes from being in such a concentrated mixture???
For a 30 gallon tank:
96 mL (.4 cups) of Kent Liquid Calcium
6 mL of Kent Iodine
12 mL of Kent Strontium & Molybdenum
1 gallon of water
( all estimated amounts are based from from recommended amounts for 16 days, because 16 cups = 1 gallon)
Any thoughts on this?

IMO not a very good idea. Some of the additives might have reactions with the others in concentrated form. On top of that, you may not need to add certain elements all the time. It all depends on your test results. For instance your calcium might be low and need to dose that but your iodine is high. You get the picture. Just my $.02.
