Sand/Rock Question

Hello!
I was wondering if I should, as I'm assembling my marine aquarium, put the sand on the bottom first, than the rocks, or the rocks first and then the sand.

Thanks
 
If you can, try to get some egg crate (like the frag racks). Its usually sold as lighting grid (on the lighting section) at Menard's, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc...never encountered it at a small (Ace, True Value) store.

If you can't get that, put the base rock in first and make sure its sturdy, then sand, and then if more rock if you're stacking it. Just make sure that there's no rock on top of sand because it can shift either from a powerhead or a burrowing fish/snail.
