i put in the sand over a week ago. i have a 55gal tank and around 40lbs of LR

The tank is most likely fully cycled. Wait a week longer, maybe adding a raw shrimp to the tank to "challenge" the cycle. If you show no change in your readings, you're set.

so you took the cc out and put ls in?
you can add a few flakes of fish food every day, this will help tell you if it is cycled or not. if cycled you should see no rise or fall of ammonia or nitrite.
