I think my DSM tank isn't warm enough. How do I increase the heat inside to make everything sweat more?

Ive had this problem on my 75 gallon for the last few days since its been cooler outside. I ended up half filling my 2.5 gallon tank with a 50w heater to keep the water 80 degrees and placed it inside the 75 gallon.

Gooberfish: What sort of lighting are you using? How is the tank covered?

It gets cold in Kentucky and I have good luck using T5NO fixtures with glass tops. Use clear packaging tape to seal up most (but not all) openings. If I mist once per day, the lighting creates enough heat to keep things humid and constantly dripping wet.
