A few different things. From a float and 2 different digitals. One which I just bought today. And my digital that I use for work which I know is deadly accurate.

I don't know a thing about the tanks you have so no help there....

what are your overnight temps running at? what equipment is actually in the water pumps, skimmer, etc. that may be throwing additional heat into the tank...

I'm noticing at even 18+ in the house, my tank is above 80. I turned off one heater, but my night temps dropped too low.

maybe put some kind of spacing between your lid and your tank. to let the air flow to help control your temp.
just to see if it helps.
it could be your return pump. getting old and heating up more. i would also try cleaning them to see if that helps.
