Sand in tank while rock cures?

I'll be getting my live rock next week from Livestock USA. I'll be curing it in my tank. Should I go ahead and add my sand while rock is curing or wait until cure is finished? I'm not using live sand at this time.

It's fine to put the sand in now.

Its best to do know. Try and have all LR and substrate in place and cycled before stock if you can.
