Putting the Tank Together...

Ok, I realize this is my third thread of the night, but another question came to me that I'd been reding up on, and gotten some conflicting information for.

When I put the tank together finally, can I put all the substrate and deco in at the same time?

Salt Water, Live Sand, and Rock at the same time?

Or do I need to let the Saltwater sit for a little bit (with filter on or off?) and after two or three days put the live sand and LR in?

The water goes first then the sand and finally the rock, all in the same day

mix the water and add to the tank, let it run for 24 hours until up to temperature, then add the rock, when you are 100% sure the rock is in the final position and your happy with it and wont move it again [at this stage ] then turn off the pumps and add 1-1.5" of sand around the rocks to cover the glass
