What all of you do about it? Ambient temperature in the room is about 66F, and I have the tank heated to 79. So, if I want to use RO water, which isn't heated, and let it sit for a day (to stabilize pH), I am going to be dropping the temperature of the tank water a good 3 to 5° by dumping water in that's 13° colder than what's in the tank doing a 25-30% PWC...

I thought about taking out as big of a pot as I can of RO water and boiling it, then dump in the boiling water in the 5 gallon bucket I collect RO water in, which should raise the temperature a few degrees. Any thoughts?
