Few books good place to start and visit other reefers tanks is always helpful.

If doing a FOWLR, really don't need to be worrying supplementing. A ATO would go a long way in going maintenance free for your wife and all then that is needed, is to add food and empty the skimmer cup.

As for the Solaris, just because you pay the big bucks doesn't always make things problem free. Lots of threads about poor quality with their other series and since they just rearranged things, might want to give them some time to get the it right.

Also if just planning a FOWLR really don't need the intensity. When I just had fish and rock in the old tank ran just normal output flourscents (marine bulbs) and worked fine. Ended up switching to PC but that was only because started some sofies. Check out T5s still get the nice crisp white with the higher temperature bulbs and use the money saved for for that Bubble King skimmer .
