Need more light!!!

Hey all

So I have a planted crestie 24x18x24 exo terra with a bromlied and pathos. The light is a 18" exo terra dual bulb which has the 2 T8 and a 35w halogen bulb. I've found that the pathos in the corners of the tank aren't getting sufficient light and are wilting. I'm looking to add a second fixture to help create a lush planted environment as I plan to add a second crestie and want plenty of cover for them.

I was considering a T5HO fixture often used on high light planted aquariums either a single or dual bulb. I'm open to other options or what's the best one. This is my first planted terrarium so not sure if my knowledge of planted aquariums is applicable or not. No shortage of CO2 this time around. I've heard of people using LED but not sure how much light they are putting out and initial cost is a lot higher. The light needs to be able to properly illuminate the 2ft to the bottom.

What are you using on your tanks?

Thanks.
