Both my tanks are in the basement. The big one has a surface area of roughly 36 sq/ft and is open to the air.
The temp down there right now is around 54F
I just add a couple of extra heaters in the tank and it maintains 78 just fine.
My 125 gal Discus tanks needs no extra heaters but they do stay on a lot more to maintain 80F
