Sorry you are having problems...does the tank have a filter? if not...I would do a complete tear down and clean out and even if it does have a filter...you need to start over...use your $20. and get a 75w heater and thermometer-
I would get the tank out of the sun this is the most likely cause of your algae/green water problem and toss the algae control product
Depending on if you have a filter or not- regular care:
Unfilter-start making twice weekly 50% water changes and vacuum the substrate/gravel with one of the twice weekly water changes to maintain the water quality...about every 3 months I would do a 100% or complete tear down.
Filtered-make 50% weekly with substrate/gravel vacuuming- once cycled
For your remaining fish-I would start daily 100% water changes on them with dechlorinated water and aquarium salt 1tsp/gal for the next 10 days while in the small QT container-if you have any Tannins to add this will also help and once you get the 10g set up with the heater I would attach their QT container to the inside of the heated tank and maintain the water temp in the 78F range..... and hope the damage is not so bad they can't recover.....
Sorry for your loss and I hope your other two can recover for you...they really need that heater
