Kevin,
You will have to worry about macro nutrients - N, P, and K...and micro nutrients- flourish. You can get the NPK using the flourish line, or becoming more popular is using dry ferts from gregwatson.com. With that much light, you will want to maintain at least 30ppm of C02, 10-20ppm of N, and 1-2ppm of P. There are a couple calculalors available to help you if you want to use dry ferts. This, as you have no doubt have guessed, is a very high level overview. With the amount of light you have, you have no choice to approach the tank as a high tech tank. You should do as much research as you can on dosing methods. Good luck!!
