I'm going to start at 83 degrees (TSTAT reading) and adjust up or down accordingly. Curious what you have your TSTAT set at? Also, how long would you give it to start taking temps?
On/Off Thermostat is what I use and again, I have a 1FT tall tank. With the thermostat probe 7 inches above the ground (approximately), and only about 2 to 2 1/2 inches below the RHP bottom (where the heat comes out), in Behira's tank, it's set to 82F to keep it 86-89F on the ground.

If using a proportional thermostat, like a Spyder Robotics, I would set to 83F and see where you are. It should take 10-30 minutes, tops, to dial in a tank that size, if the RHP is the correct size.
