I know you're all excited about...another lighting question!

Good evening all...or should I say, good early morning! Anyways, I'm really confused about lighting from reading so much lately. I have a 55 gallon, but it's not the norm long, tall and narrow 55 gallon. I'm not sure of the exact measurements at this moment, but i know it's 30" long (same as a standard 29er). I'm looking to eventually only keep low to moderate light corals and such. What would be the best total wattage to go with, and can anyone recommend a specific brand or light fixture. I've been looking around and maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but I haven't found much that's 30" w/ enough wattage. Will I have to combine multiple light fixtures? Any help would be greatly appreciated! If my exact tank measurements will help, please let me know and I'll go measure! Thanks!
 
My exact measurements are: 30L x 24.5H x 18W. I have about a 2 inch sandbed, and will eventually have over 60 pounds of live rock. Is this too deep for PC's?
