Sorry, gotta disagree. If you know you're going to have both, I always suggest starting with the coral. Let it settle in, encrust, attach, not worry about overloaded nutrients, etc. Just don't add sand. Or if you do, add a goby. And acid wash it. If you're using Io salt. Otherwise, don't use sand at all. Only MB7.

This is a complicated hobby...
