granted . it is a smaller tank. humidity , heat from the day ( even with air conditioning) still effect the cool down of the tank. i usually like to check my tanks first thing in the morning due to cool down of the night.
my 30 gallon salt in summer would heat up 82 to 83 with the flourescent light. overnight with light off ,the temperature would drop back down to 80.
i may not be scientific, its just what i have experienced.
if i was you , i would unplug one item the night before then check it in the morning to see if it makes a difference.
i would only use one of the temperature thermometers though. do you ever check to see what the temperature is before you go to bed , then check it when you wake up.
another thing you might check on is , if you have a pretty constant temperature in the room you have the tank in. have you checked it lets says at 7:00 am , then checked it lets say 5:00 pm. if the room is around a constant temperature, the outside heat might affect the tank . theory that one side of the house will be cool in the morning, the everyside might be warm.
does your tank change in temperature between morning and after noon
