Not along with the rocks but they sure tried when i called them with questions about this matter!

I’m sorry but i’m very confused by this haha, as a beginner this feels very very new.Nobody can advise that you have to choose, and integrate it with a disease plan. That’s the only reason order of stocking would matter, lots of reefs have been set up with fish first or last, CUC first or never added at all (I don’t use them at all) but the disease plan controls what order of things you add.
See this link for one example of adding fish very last:

The point is to build the reef in a way that is least likely to get your new fish diseased it’s a really tedious set of choices.
