Honestly you can get away with T8 bulbs. I'm using Flora-Sun bulbs 15 watts in my 55 gallon heavily planted tank. My plants are flourishing, I have a couple Swords, Dwarf Aquarium lily and some Ferns and few others I can't remember. I use my local fish stores plant food and fertilizers and liquid C02. A Marineland 150-170 would work for you in 30 gallon.
