Taping the tub is a good idea. A little added security I'm sure helps.
When I saw room temp, what works for me, is just whatever my Michigan room naturally happens to be. This time of the year it's 68 during the day and drops 1-2 degrees at night, and my hatchlings feed no problem. I do not personally use a heat source at all for my rhinos, but if you have the set up they can certainly benefit from a little gradient. However, I believe 85 is way too hot for rhinos, especially in such a small tub. Because your room ambient is already at a decent temp of 72, I would recommend setting your heat tape to 78. They really don't need a lot of heat, this is a very cool climate species.
Other than that, your set up looks perfect. Some good hiding and terrain options. Just get them cooled down a little, be patient with them, and once they get feeding they'll be bulletproof for you.
