My question is, should I put my live sand in the tank and then add my RO water and then mix salt. Or should I put the RO water in? Mix the salt and then add sand.

Ideally you mix RO and salt outside of the tank but when filling my 200g, I did it inside the tank while bare bottom, then add rock, then add sand.
