Help with choosing ceramic bulb wattage

[chipdizzle1]

I am getting a 60hx40lx40w reptile one enclosure and want to replicate the tropical conditions in the northern rainforest parts of australia. What wattage bulb would I need to get a temperature of 25-33 degrees? Winter in melbourne gets pretty cold and my house is unheated unless there is someone at home. Thermostat recommendations would be appreciated too.

Also how would I go about getting silicone off the glass of the enclosure?

if you must use a ceramic heater, you only want it to act as an ambient temp heater not to create a basking spot, due to the way it heats, it radiates heat which provides heat in all directions, unlike a basking globe which generally directs heat down.

I'm keeping oecophylla smaradigna or green tree ants in there so a basking spot is not needed. Not a reptile but still figured this would be the best place to ask about heating an enclosure like this.

Something to raise the ambient temps is exactly what I'm looking for. Not many people keep this species so there's not a lot of information online. I do know what kind of heating element i need, just a matter of how powerful it should be. Wouldn't want to cook them and wouldn't want to let freeze them either.
