I run the Tunze Aquawind on 2 systems, 170, 112. Room can get to 82 tank stays 78 set at 77.
Any fan across the surface will work.
Love my tunze fan. Keeps the reef a couple of degrees cooler, so I don’t need to run the A/C or chiller as much.
 
Tunze Aquawind pointed across the sump, keeps tank at 77, plugged into thermostat for auto on/off. It gets hot here, in the high desert. Cade 600 tank.
Edit: had a Tunze with the double fan, went with GhL Aqua breeze with 3 fans, 3 years ago and it cools better in my opinion.
 
Is your tank a FOWLR? My air has been out since Monday (electricians coming tomorrow to replace the main electrical box)... my main tanks are in a room with a daily temp of 86-degrees, and two fish are in another room with the room temp hitting 93-degrees today. Everyone is acting normally and eating like pigs. You would be amazed how the fish can adapt when the temp rises fairly slowly over the course of a few days. (Of course you want LOTS of oxygen in the tank at such temps.) Now a tank filled with corals... probably a much bigger problem. Best wishes!
