The Sols are nice, I bought the black ones and I'm happy with them. If you want to mount them on tank, they have a rail kit you can buy, about 70 bucks for a 4'.
Yes, you'll need at least three. Probably 4 if you want to fill the tank with SPS one day.
I tried to get away with 3, that was a joke. I needed 6. I almost cheaped out and got 5, but that wouldn't have done it.
But, you can buy three now, add a fourth later if/when you need it.

the Kessil's can be mounted to a gooseneck that is attached to the back of your tank. Google them.
