You can try a bunch of fans but you might need a chiller since they might not help much outside.

Shade it from the sun.
Try a big fan blowing across the surface. This might not be effective due to high ambient humidity.
Think about getting a chiller.

What’s a good chiller? It’s in the shade

For short term freeze rodi water bottles and throw them in but that will only do so much if the tank is outside. A chiller would be the only real solution long term

Why rodi bottles?
Why not tap water ?

More for precaution if the bottle would crack or leak
