An 80 gallon tank with only 40 lbs of live rock can't have the rock up to the top of the tank. 160 lbs of live rock can get close. I'd wait, add ALOT more live rock and then work on lighting. You're best to have 2 lbs rock per gallon and 1 lb sand per gallon. Then you can do away with the wet/dry and convert it to a plain sump. You may want to work on that skimmer too. Build it slow and you'll get there. Nothing good happens fast with salt except rust on your quarter panels.
Lighting wise, You can always set 2- 2 bulb shop lights on top with 6500K $5 bulbs from home depot and be at 2 wpg for under 40 bucks including the fixtures. Then you could grow xenia and some shrooms. Maybe some gsp's and yellow star polyps.
