Better Lighting for Fishtank?

[Kezyma]

Hi,

I just ordered a fishtank (the biggest I could find that I have room for) and I'm planning on putting some if not all of my orchids inside it and in turn, move them away from the windowsill, freeing up space there for less orchidy stuff!

Having looked at recommendations, I've seen people say that 3x 60W bulbs are the minimum requirement? This is much more than the tank comes with.

the tank dimensions are 60x30x40cm and it comes with one 15w Phillips T8 (450mm length) which I imagine will be nowhere near enough for the selection I have (Ophrys, Prosthechea, Bulbophyllum, Restrepia, Pecteilis, Phalaenopsis, Vanilla).

What would you folks recommend I do? Is there some ultra powerful bulb I can replace it with or is there something else I should do?

I'm going to need to get a fan and heater for this as well I imagine? Maybe even a mister with a timer!

First, don't they all have different light needs?

Well I won't likely be able to fit all of them in there, but most of them aren't getting enough light where they are. The resterpia probably wont handle it and ophrys and pecteilis are terrestrial. But the others surely would like more light than the dull English weather?
