I couldn't see a heat lamp in your photo - so I'll just assume you have one. Do you have the temps on the cool side and basking area right?

on the right upper corner you should see some of the lamp hanging over the tank,the cooler side is 85 at the moment and the hot side i can do yet,i have not got the spot light yet i am going tommorow to get it and hopefully a 100watt will do it,i should imagine it would cause i had a 75watt spot bulb by zoomed i used for my iggy and it got to 105 easily so a 100watt should hit 115-125.tommorow i will post my final temps and adjust anything if needed.i would love to move it to a diffrent corner but the thing must weigh almost 200lbs with the sand oh well.

make sure that he cannot dig under those rocks, or any decorations, he could get crushed.Just be aware...
Good luck looks nice!!

Hello! You had mentioned using 100 watt light bulbs. With a tank the size you have, I would use 150 watt bulbs, definately. Try the spot-lamp style.

the rocks are at the bottom of the glass so thier is no way for him to get under and crush himself.well im going to try a 100watt 1st to see what happens cause a 150watt is way to much to run considering i have 4 leopard geckos with night and day bulbs and under heaters.but if i have to i have to, cant have a cold lizard giving me the "i wish there was some heat up in here looks" a 100watt should do fine considering my room stays about 80f all the time during winter.btw i did end up moving it to another corner.....lots of sweat and cuss words later its now where i wanted it.....will never move that thing ever again unless its to move out.
