CHE will last a while. I bought a 60 watt zoo med CHE, ran 24/7 for a year straight except during hot days in the summer and it's still going strong. I suggest getting a large clamp lamp that's as large at the lid on your tank. I had a 8.5 inch flukers clamp lamp, but switched to a brooder clamp lamp from Tractor supply. The kind used for keeping chicken peeps warm. Its 10 inches wide- as wide as my screen top. Heats way better than the fluker lamp did. I think the heat would rise up, out and around the fluker lamp. Keep and eye on humidity though CHE's dry things out fast.
