Default Setup Schedule Pt II

Thanks for all the great info on my previous post. My last question (ha!) is
how to install the live sand/live rock.
Should the tank be filled with water before to get it up to temperature and
then put in the LS and LR? Or should I put in the sand and rock first then
fill with room temp water (in which I suppose I could but the heater). In
any case, I wouldn't have 100 gallons of proper temp (which should be what
temp?) water to add all at once. Could I just put in 10-20 gallons to start
and then add 5 gallons at a time? How critical is the temp of the water
being added?
I just can't see having all my RO water at the proper temp sitting around to
put in all at once. It would be easier if I could fill the tank most of the
way, then add the sand and rock. Is this okay?

Thanks again.
