Get a fan blowing across the water surface. It will bring the temp down a couple degrees. Watch your top off, you'll evap a bit more than normal. ;)

That IS the best way to cool your tank down. Float some ice in ziplock bags or something if it's that bad.

My 65g was running close to 85. I put a 10 inch table fan on a table about 6-8 feet away and have it running when the lights are on. It blows just on one end of the tank and the water temp has dropped to about 81. I was amazed and there is no additional evap of water. I didn't think it was possible.
