have fans blow directly over the surface.
just get some computer fans from radio shack.
you will have alot of evaporation but your tank temp will drop quite a bit.
lucky for me i have a A/C vent about 18" above my tank that i point directly down towards the top of the canopy.

I was thinking of it for a cheay DIY chiller for those that usually don't need one except when the freaky planet goes nuts during the summer. The advantage being that:
a: you dont have to buy a chiller.
b: it you use the frozen foil packs you can recycle them.
c: chillers also generate a lot of heat and if you cant vent that heat out of the room, they do not work very well because the heat just heats up the room again.
d: very little electricity required.
thankfully thats not a problem my tank stays nice and chilled all on its on so i dont really worry about it
