My 55 is fully cycled. If I add 40-50lbs more cured live rock this week can I also add some corals at the same time?
I know stupid question, damn noobs! HAHAHA

I personally would wait, add rocks first and wait a month or so before adding in corals, how old is your tank?? :happyfish

where are you receiving this rock from? if it is being shipped to you, than it will need to be cured again because of the shipping die-off.

IMO, it's wayyyyyyyyy too young to add any corals right now. And are you sure it's completely cycled at 4 weeks? You've got to be sure to add any live stock!!! And if you do order those rocks, they do have to be recured again!!! You should start reading!!! :happyfish

Reading is all ive been doing threads, books, magazines,threads, and more threads.
All of my tast readings are back to normal after a major spike and giant alge bloom.
I failed to mention that I already have 50lbs or L/R.
I just want to do it right, this is my first SW tank, and my first tank in a few years period. It was in storage fo a while.

I too would wait until after you add your live rock and get a couple water changes under your belt for corals. One of the keys to coral is stable water conditions.
Also, like NE Reef mentioned, if the LR is being shipped to you you will have some die-off which will cause it to recure. If you are buying it "fully cured" from a local fish store then it should be fine.
When you start with corals, I would go with Mushrooms and Zoanthids. They are effortless.
