I usually leave the sand out for a weeks if I go this route. This way you can easily siphon out any "crap" that falls off the rocks while its curing. Get in there and give them a shake or hit them with a powerhead/turkey baster to flush out as much die off as possible.

Liverock is def a tricky subject.... gonna get a lot of opinions on this one. Either way you go take your time, sounds like your on the right track
Thanks so much for the advise I do want to go the live rock route I never thought of leaving the sand out to keep clean up easier
All of you guys are awesome I so appreciate all of the time you have all given me!!!
