Have you checked the temps while substrate is in it? I heap the sand at the back to about 15cm deep then slope it forwards, that way the sand is coming into contact with the back which is the part of the tub being heated. I have to admit, with the cooler weather it isn't heating as much as it was during summer. There is still a thermal gradient, but overall temperatures are down slightly. I'm not worried about that though because I was going to start cooling them anyway.

Oh, and as wokka said, closing in the sides will boost the temps a lot.
