If you are havinbg heating issues I would personally use a false bottom where you can actually put a small 50-100 watt heater to keep it around 80 degrees.... I live in SoCal but I still use a heater on most of my tanks because when it gets cold here the rooms can get to be about 60 degrees.... I set all the heaters at 78 degree just to be safe because they will turn off at that temp and will never turn on if the viv is at that temp or lower.... One more thing to add is test the heater first and when I mean test I mean put in a tank with water and put it on the temp you want it which should be 78-80 degrees then leave over nite or a few hours. Check the temp and if the heater is accurate put it in the viv. Good luck.... If you need help just reply back or pm...
