Haven't used plain sand, but I have had good results in the past with straight perlite.. it does wick up moisture more than you'd think (with a 2" internal res at the bottom). I don't see why sand wouldn't be effective early on, but would have a low CEC moving forward without some organic matter added to the mix..
