Live rock and sand Q

I'm costing sand and rock for my tank, which i'm in no rush to add fish to once i've added water. I'm considering adding a fair amount of base rock and letting it become live over time before adding fish, is this a particularly bad idea? i know it'll be months and months before i can add fish, but that's not really a problem.

I've wrked out i need about 30 - 40 kg of rock, since, apparently more is better. (the tank will probalby be about 65 gallons) so i was thinking about getting 10 or 15kg of live rock, and the rest as base rock. also thinking about getting 4 bags of base sand and two bags of live sand. are these mix levels a good idea, or should i go with more live, less base?

also, any guesses on how long it'll take to seed the rocks, etc?
