if you're using oyster shells, put them in a coffee grinder and try to get them to the finest powder you can get them. I use hydrated lime, but be careful, you dont want your PH too high.. or Too low.

add a mixture of both powder form calcium carbonate and some also just crushed oyster shell for long term benifits.

If you live in the states, look for a hydroponics shop. they are seriously everywhere and you can find more than enough of whatever you may ever need at those places. make sure to get some litmus paper or whatever those PH papers are called. its very easy to send the PH up
to 12 or higher with lime. at least in my experience it has been.

as far as eggshells, never tried them so i cant help ya on that. good luck

To my knowledge egg shells are the same as calcium carbonate.As said prior in the above post use strips or better yet get a ph meter a good one not one of those 10 buck ones since those are junk.In the pet store like petsmart they are called Bone-Aid made by T-rex in smaller letters it says calcium carbonate sand thats the stuff you want.Also it is over by the lizard substrates.
