Aquarium Incorporated Stands…

I have a digital thermometer which reads correctly in 13 tanks. I’ve compared it to glass thermometers. My problem is in the fourteenth tank the temperature at the bottom of the tank is 74 and at the top of the tank it is 82. Do I need more air circulation or could it be my heater. Does anyone have…
