How long should i wait until i start adding corals. My tank has been cycled for about a month and another thing should i add corals first or livestock.

You could add corals at any time now. I'd start with a few easier ones at first, then if they're doing ok after a few weeks, go for some more stuff.

IMO it does not matter if you add corals or fish first. Corals dont add to the bioload, fish do. You cant really add too many corals to make the bioload overdone (well you can add to many to where they're using up all the trace elements and whatnot, but not the bioload).
