What would be the right lamp for my aquarium?

When you say double, do you mean doubling wattage or lux?

Because I can get sun glo lights at the pet store with 20w but provide
135lux, Ican't think now for sure if they are 18K though.

The Sun-glo with higher lux will help, but you would need at least two
20w flourescent lights over your tank for most live plants.

You need to consider plants like java moss, jave fern, anubias, and
cryptocoryne.
