What is next?

My 55 SW tank seems to be ready. I want to turn this FO tank into an intermediate Reef tank, but I wanted to know what I should buy to progress this project.
The cycle looks right. Should I add some Live Rock and will add more lighting? OR any other suggestions. I am running an Emprorer dual Bio wheel with a hang on skimmer that is almost ready to run, I have two power heads in the tank not including the one on the skimmer, and only decorative dead coral, but like I said would like to add live rock..
what next?

More rock is always a good thing. More light is another thing that is always good.

make sure you have the proper lighting for what you want to keep. You can upgrade lights in the future, but it is easier and cheaper in the end to start out with the right lighting. Also if you upgrade lighting, be ready for algae blooms...
