I have a Kalk dripper set up to keep tank topped off with Kalk saturated freshwater. I'm curious, It is set up to keep my tank topped off for a week so could I mix my iodine and magnesium for the week also all in with one and other? That way my week dosing is done?
 
You could set up separate drippers in the same manner (additive+RODI dripped over a week), but I would not mix either of those (or anything else I can think of) with limewater. The others require very little volume compared to lime water though, so setting up a small DIY dripper or two just for those extra i ngredients wouldn't be out of the question IMO. :)

Adding part a and b together makes silicate sand basicly. same with three part. I bought a lot of mr chili mixing jugs from brs because they are cheap and had free shipping. I could see iodine settling a lot as well. You can add vinegar to counter how much your ph is raised but other than that leave the kalk alone. On another note brightwells has mag added but wich supplement of the two? I don't know. If it was as simple as mag flakes and Epsom salt with it that would be nice.
 
As others have said, don't mix other additives with kalk. I don't believe you're supposed to mix any additives prior to dripping.
