You really don't need the heating pad, unless your home gets below 69F at night. The basking temp should be between 95-115F and the ambient cage temp (air) around 80F with a cool section of mid 70'sF.
You made no mention of a UVB light source. You need to get one of t these right away, as bearded dragons need exposure to UVB light rays for proper health. Repti-glo and Repti-sun (similiar bulbs made by two different companies to provide uvb rays...5.0, 8.0 and 10.0 are the best to choose from, the higher value the better).
A night light is not necessary either. If it needs additional heat a ceramic heat emmitter is more suitable. However, if the temp doesn't go below 65F at the lowest at night, you don't need additional heat at all.
Good digital thermometers with probes or a temp gun should be used to measure the temperatures, both on the basking spot and elsewhere in the tank.
Spinach is not good for bearded dragons or any other reptile for that matter. Spinach contains oxalates that bind calcium, making it unusable by the body. Spinach in small amounts mixed with other high calcium greens isn't too bad, but deffinitely not as an exclusive or stable greens. Check the nutrition chart at:
www.beautifuldragons.com It has a great list of good and bad greens and vegetables to feed your dragon.
Mealworms are also not a good stable insect for bearded dragons. Crickets are good, as are silkworms, roaches (several different species, but watch the heavy exskeleton of some species. Discoids are good that i can remember offhand), butterworms, hornworms (smaller younger worms for smaller dragons, th ese worms can grow to 4" or more) and superworms in moderation are good insect stables. All insects should be properly gutloaded (those that can be that is. Silkworms, butterworms and hornworms are very meal specific and hornworms should only be fed the prepared chow for them, not their natural food sources (ie tomato and tobacco plants) as these are toxic and will make the worms deadly for your dragon. Without these plants in their diet, the worms are perfectly safe).
The tank is a great adult size tank but it may be overwhelming for a small 6 month old dragon. If it's over 13" or has been housed in that cage all alone by the previous owner, then it should be fine.
Substrate should be something non particular or if you do want a more natural look, washed children's playsand that has been sifted to remove any large particles. Other better non risk substrates are non stick shelf liner (duck brand is good), plastic table cloth, reptile carpet, paper towel or newsprint. Some also uuse wheatbran though I don't recommend it as it can harbour mites (harmless to the dragon but annoying to have flying all around the house), it can mold if it gets too wet and bactria can grow in it. Not to mention insects can quickly burrow out of sight in it. Superworms deffinitely will love it.
I also recommend reading as many care sheets as you can find about bearded dragons. A google search will bring out tons. There will be contridictory information in them and though some may be wrong, others are just individual preferance and not necessarily bad. Feel free to ask further questions here.
One last thing, a 6 month dragon should be fed insects every day and salad offered all day long. Every other day, dust crickets with a calcium with D3 and vitamine suppliment. Feed as much insects as the dragon can eat in a 5-10 minute period.
