Don't worry too much; your tank is still within the recommended range of 70-80 degrees F.  You might want to buy an undertank heater (ZooMed makes a good one).  Buy one that is recommended for the size smaller than your current tank, and place it under one end of your tank (opposite the water dishes - or you will find your tank with very high humidity due to excessive evaporation!!).  Make sure your tank is not under a vent or where there is a draft, as this will affect the temperature.
