I have a 55 gallon reef / marine tank that has been running for two months and I have been slowly stocking it.
I have seen such units as the Red Sea Wavemaster Pro that creates a current in the tank.
In a tank of my size, is this something that would be beneficial to my corals and fish?

Absolutely it would. Any current can only be helpful, especially when it is alternating current. The REd Sea devices do not alternate the direction of the current 9which I think is most beneficial) but it atleast alternates the cycle of your powerheads, turning them on and off in different intervals to provide changing current. I hav eone on our 75 and am glad I added it.

I use a scwd. Alternating current without using electricity. You can use it coming up from your sump.
