    Tank Won't Get Hot Enough

    I'm just getting a new tank setup put together and I can't seem to keep the hot spot hot enough. My ambiend is just fine, 79.2F, but my hot spot is only staying around 86F. Its a 20gal long that has a small little 8 watt heat pad that doesn't work very well, a 50 watt ceramic heat bulb, and a 75 watt heaght/black light (both lights in reflector domes). The temp of the room is kept between 72-75F right now. I put cling wrap on a little over half of the screen (just enough so that both domes will fit and not melt the plastic wrap) to try and keep the heat up and it brought it up from like 84F. Any sujestions on what to do? Also what can I do with my tank to make a ball happier?
