How do i keep my baby turtle tank warm!?

Had a fish tank hood with floeressent light bulbs and the temperture was about 80 degrees fareheit. now i have a clamp lamp and the temp is about 74ish. how do i keep the waater warm? oh ya, i have a water heater, and it works. but how do i warm up the air??
Answers:
The tank temp, if this is water, is fine. If this is the basking area, point the lamp directly down on the basking area and this will bring it up into the high 80s and leave the heater on in the water. Remember though, they don't just need the UVA/heat lamp, they also need the UVB lamp too. These emmit no heat though and need to be angled for the whole tank.
well i think you would just get a UV light? but I just found a quarter sized baby turtle and have no idea how to feed it take care of it or any thing else!! Help me!!!!!!!!
why dont you ask the pet store instead of a bunch of complete strangers online? wow. anyways hopefully you have some area for them to get out and walk around. turtles dont live completely in water. you need a uv light. you need heat. you need proper diet. google it.
