with a 30 or 32" depth the only lighting option you have is to go with 400 MH single ended bulbs or 250 watt single ended bulbs being run off of a non electronic HQI ballast. you can fiddle with PCs, VHOs, or T5s but they will only be god for supplemental lighting at that depth. now if your fish only yest any of the above lights will work, but I would recommend going with VHO. T5s are starting to show a shorter life span, and PCs while a little more powerful than VHOs have a greater color shift over the life of the bulb.
