When getting a chiller is simply not an option...

they also have those portable ac units that stand on the floor.

Considered that actually but I will get a proper AC by next summer so just need to get through this one and then life is "easy" will be super expensive to have a 24,000 BTU AC running basically 24/7 but the house needs it so I'll just have to deal with it.

For the time being my jenky fan solution is working like a charm for the tank but yeah the plan is to install the proper hood with fans and such by the end of this summer as all the humid air in the house is going to cause major mold issues. Then when summer is over I'll start dealing with winter problems and by next summer should be in pretty good shape :)
 
The fans shown above, made by Stanley, are available at Walmart, but are blue and a different brand...same exact fan though. They are about $50, but do put out a lot of air.
