It's amazing what you can accomplish with an inexpensive fan. I took advantage of a column next to the tank to mount an inexpensive 6" fan to move air across the top of the tank. I could have it on a timer to run when the lights are on, but I took advantage of an open outlet on my Apex. The fan turns on at 78.6F and off at 77.9F. I have the heater come on at 77.4F and turn off at 78.1F. Total cost <$20. Much better than using the room ceiling fan.
