Oh, and by the way, you can't really add too much calcium carbonate because it stops reacting much after you get a pH of around 8.0 to 8.4. Hydrated lime, on the other hand, stops reacting around 12.5, strong enough to eat the tissues out of your nose so don't breath the dust unless you want a really clean nose.
