I want to start dosing a little iron and Manganese for my Gonis and macro algae. I've heard a lot of good experiences dosing both. My question is can I mix them together? Will they interact?

I was planning on using Fergon for the iron (Ferrous Gluconate) and Manganese Sulphate for the Manganese.

Ideally i'd mix them both to a concentration I could dose about 1-10ml per day and keep at a decent level. My BRS doser is around 1.1ml/min (surprisingly accurate)

If they do interact, is there a version of them that doesn't? Trying to avoid buying another doser if I can.

I believe those two can be mixed. A visible precipitate would be a sign of a problem.
