Try a 150 watt CHE for the extra heat - that's how I heat my dragon's enclosure. I have a large piece of driftwood in a 55 gallon, and the CHE is only a few inches from the top of the driftwood. She can move to different levels of the driftwood to thermoregulate, but does spend a good amount of time at the very top, which reaches 100F (the cool end of the tank is is 70-75F). I leave the CHE on 24/7 - have never had a problem with it, but it could be put on a timer, too. Perhaps you could build a taller basking spot out of 2x2 wood - might not be pretty, but it would allow a wide range for thermoregulation, and be cheap.
