RFI for 60 Gallon Tank Lighting

I have a 60 gallon acrylic fish only marine tank (with live rock). The tank came with a hood with a single 36 inch, 30 watt fluorescent tube. In reading some aquarium books, they recommend 1-2 watts per gallon. Consequently, it appears that I am considerably UNDER-lighting this tank as it should be 60-120 watts based on the books I've read. As a relative neophyte to this hobby, does anyone have any recommendations for wattage and specific light systems for a tank of this size? Thanks.
