Default Using Sand as a Substrate for a Cacti / Succulent Terrarium?

Hello!

Although I have never read anything about creating a Cacti and Succulent terrarium using sand as a substrate as Catci/Succulent potting mixes, etc and other mixtures are recommended...

I was wondering if anyone has planted such a terrarium using sand or sand mixed with other materials so that the substrate looks just like sand?

I really like the look of sand and the contrast it provides against the plants.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Jeff

p.s. The terrarium has a large opening for air circulation.
