Help/Advice: I’m upgrading from an 18x18x24 to an 18x18x36. Will I need a more powerful heat bulb for the larger tank? What bulbs do you guys have for your 18x18x36 tanks?

Hi,
Like the title says, I’m upgrading my female cresties tank from an 18x18x24 to an 18x18x36.
For the current set up (the 18x18x24), I use a 60 watt ceramic heat emitter and a temperature controller. Between the 2, the temperature gradient of the tank is consistently near perfect (I also have a UVB hood and plant lights but that’s not super relevant to this question).
Since the new tank is obviously a foot taller, I’m wondering if I should expect to need a higher powered heat bulb.
**TLDR:**
**What are you guys using for your heat bulbs on your 18x18x36 tanks?**
**What wattage/bulbs would you recommend for an 18x18x36 tank?**
(Side note: I’ve had my Crestie for over a year now and still havnt been able to come up with a name for her. This is wayyyy less important than the questions about her new tank but if you see her and think of a name I’d love to hear it)
