If the tank is totally covered by a lid then yes, I would leave it open. Also, what setting is the heater turned too and excatly how hot is the tank water? If the tank water is a couple of degrees warmer than what the heater is set on, I would crank the heater down a degree or 2 to get to your desired temp.

How big is the tank, and what is the Ambient room tempature? Lighting is the first choice of a culprit. THen check the Powerheads to make sure they are not jammed or something. If one is, it will certainly heat the water, and FAST too.

I don't see a problem with the tank being 82.
