Cooling down aquarium in hot temperatures

What type of cover is on the tank? I removed my glass and went with a mesh cover, saved me a couple degrees. I also changed out my AC pumps for DC, there is another couple degrees. I did invest in a chiller only because I didn't want to keep the house that cold.

I just use a fan above the water and it blows onto the water surface. Awesome at keeping my tank cool. Live in AZ and it works well here, especially since we are so dry. It does increase evaporation but it isn't hard to keep up with ATO.
