I'm planning on buying some pings to put in a south window and wanted to make sure I made a decent media mix. I'm in a hotter/drier climate so I plan on a slightly wetter mix (2:1:0.5-1 perlite/peat/sand. I understand they appreciate slightly alkaline soils so I went out and bought this calcium carbonate sand meant for reptiles:

It looks an awful lot like coral sand. I wonder how I should balance the calcium content to prevent the plants from burning. Has anyone used this kind of sand and what were your results? Should I probably be more conservative with how much I put into the mix? Thanks!
