Hello, i'm currently having a lot of trouble with lighting in my new terrarium. I went from having a 10 gallon tank starting out with my baby beardie, to having a bigger exo terra terrarium with the dimensions 24” x 18” x 18”. The heat light i had in my 10 gallon, (100w exo terra infrared heat lamp) is no longer very effective as it only heats the basking area to 85 degrees or so.I have been told to replace it with a white daylight basking bulb. Also, i have been told my compact uvb bulb should be replaced with a tube uvb. Thing is I have no idea how many watts i should get for either of the bulbs. I was thinking 150 watt for the heat light and a 15 watt tube light. Here is a picture of the terrarium..

My beardie is temporarily put back into his 10 gallon tank until i can get appropriate lighting. He wasn't doing very well in his new tank with the lights I have.
