 Since it is 1 month old I'd say go for it. If it was a well established tank Id say NO. Over time, a sand bed will accumulate hydrogen sulfide buildup from anaerobic bacteria, if you disturb the sand bed enough you will then release that into the water which can wipe out a tank QUICK.
 
Why not join the bare-bottom club?  You don’t need sand in your tank as long as you have a good amount of live rock. Not as nice looking but man is it easier to keep clean! I personally love the look once the bottom gets covered in coralline and some GSP....looks like my front lawn lol
