Narrative:
The minimum vectoring altitude in the area is 2500 feet. I had two aircraft that were being vectored for the approach and stacked the second aircraft at 3500 feet. I then cleared the first aircraft for the ILS at 2500 feet. Unknown to me at the time is that there is a minimum intercept altitude of 3000 feet for the ILS approach.
