I did and it worked for me.
I had the water mixed and ready (SG, PH, Temp, and so on) first as I did not want to "kill" the beneficial bacteria. Not sure if I could but it made sense to me. I then added the rock on the bottom and added some water to get the weight up so level the stand again (I am on carpet). I added the sand so I could hold the rock in place and get a good balance. I then added the remainder of water - slowly.
I had the usual spike etc for the cycle and it calmed down in about three weeks or less if I remember. Everything was up and running well so far three months.

You need about 50lbs for a 2" bed. Rock on the bottom fill sand around rock. add water slowly. If you have an HOB filter crank it up and clean filter pads several times, this will help with the sand storm.
