Got my LR thismorning......questions

[swishyfishies]

Ok it's been a while.......I just got my Marshall Islands LR in just now & it's all in the tank. Beautiful I'll add. Should I go ahead & aquascape it to it's final resting position now or leave it all spread out on the bottom of the tank till it's done curing then set it up?

Next, I also have 60 lbs of sand (not live) standing by to add to the tank after the rock is set up. (This depends on the 1st answer) Do I add the sand before or after curing & does it make a difference since it's dry sand?

I would put the sand in first as the cycling process will help the sand as well. Good bacteria also grows in the sand bed.

You can go ahead and aquasape now if you want.

Add the sand now also once you have yoru rock situated.

That's what I was thinking but I figured I better get some opinions before going any further. Thanks.
