I have three eaters in my tank one set at about 90 one set at 84 and one set at 80 and my water still stays at an annoying 76 I just got a new aro and want to heat the tank up so he will eat. Any ideas why my water is not heating up?

Set all 3 to 80, you are working the hell out of the higher temp heaters. Also, the may not be enough wattage, roomtemp may be too low, not enough water circulation, or one or more may be burned up or not working

Two are 200 and one of them is a 300 aha. And I checked all of them and they all work fine. So maybe I'm thinking room temp.

Have you calibrated these heaters?
Get a thermometer you know is accurate and set the heater to a temp and observe if it reaches that temp....do it it a bucket. If these heaters cant be calibrated, toss them.
The ol' touch the water and it feels warm method will just add to the confusion.
 
how can that be? the weather is so freaking hot lately, i would guess your therm is busted.
 
If the water even feels warm its above 80 imo

Try a digi thermometer or ir

if your profile is correct and you live in victorville it's gona be 90 degrees today, unless you tank is sitting in a room with AC your tank with your heaters on could be overheating your tank.
