In the last years, strongly-magnetic atoms drew great attention in the quantum-gas community motivated by the possibility of realizing exotic phases of matter arising from long-range and anisotropic dipole-dipole interactions. So far, experiments with dipolar lanthanides focused on single-species operation. We present an experimental setup, which for the first time, combines two highly magnetic atomic species, erbium and dysprosium. In order to access the numerous interesting regimes, a precise knowledge of the inter-species scattering length is essential. Several techniques are known to probe the collisional properties, including e.g. lattice modulation spectroscopy. We present an alternative method in which, making use of species-selective potentials together with theoretical simulations based on ground state calculations using an extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation, we investigate the unknown inter-species scattering length. Merging the field of dipolar quantum gases with heteronuclear mixtures makes our system an ideal candidate to study the unexplored dipolar immiscibility-miscibility phase diagram and impurity physics in dipolar gases.
