Heating in a natural terrarium?

[hereces]

Hi everyone, I'm a totally new to the world of amphibians so please bear with me.

I have been planning a naturally planted white's terrarium for quite some time now and it looks like I'll be planting up next month.
I'm going for a 45x45x60cm exo terra with 45 cm dual bulb compact canopy, hydroleca drainage layer and coco panels on 3 sides.

I don't think I'll be able to use a side mounted heat mat because of the coco panels, Also the substrate and drainage layer will be too thick for under tank mat placement.

My question is do you think the compact canopy with 1x Repti Glo 2.0 Compact 13W bulb and 1 x Repti Glo 5.0 Compact 13W bulb will provide enough heat for some whites tree frogs? Or should I go with the 26W bulbs?

Thanks for your time.

You want a water-proof heating cable (Hydrokor for example, but I think Exo Terra sells one now too) that goes in the substrate of the terrarium. You have to run it with a thermostat too. These options aren't the cheapest but to me nothing else is as good.
