light for odd tank size

I have a very odd sized tank and was wondering how I should proceed in determining the types of corals I could get. Right now it is FOWLR, the rock is stacked up the back wall about 20inches.

The tank has the footprint of a 20L but it is actually around 50g. The dimensions are 30w X 12d X 30h. I currently have a pc fixture with a total of 130w.

The question is can I build a vertical reef in this tank with higher light corals in the top 12 inches and work down the tank to lower light corals.... if so any suggestions on what might work.

I firgure the top half of the tank is getting somewhere around 5.2w per gallon due to the compact footprint.


Thanks

IMO: Not a very suitable tank for a reef because tank is so narrow and so tall.

However, sounds like a great tank for seahorses........
