My temp stays at 79-82 without a heater. My house thermostat is set to 72. Does this sound right or is it way off?

I have a 90 gallon with a 20 gallon sump. Is my equipment putting out that much heat? Here’s what I have:

Display:
ATI 6 bulb T5
2 jebao SOW-15

Sump:
Sedra pump (for euro reef skimmer)
1 Hydor Koralia 850
Sicce 3.0 return pump

I used to have 3 100w Eheim Jager trutemp heaters, but removed them since the temperature was so high.

My cheap digital thermometer and float thermometer have the same readings. Either they’re both wrong or my equipment is raising the temperature by 7-10 degrees! What do you think?
