Chiller suggestion for 14g biocube

Anybody have a good suggestion on a chiller for a 14g biocube. Mine sits in my home office, which does not get as much AC cooling as other rooms so the biocube constantly runs hot during summer months. Do they make a small drop in chiller for nano's?

Quiet fan that moves air on the surface of the water work well.

+1
When I had my 32G biocube I removed the back door, and replaced it with eggcrate and 2 PC fans. I also opened the front door and replaced it with eggcrate super glued in place. Lowered my temps by 10 degrees.

Not sure how much different the 14 is, but it's worth a shot.

On my large tank I just have a clamp type fan blowing across the surface. You would be surprised how much evaporation can cool the tank.

Not sure if 1 of these would fit in an opening of the 14g.

Just curious cause my tank is a little warm too. What temp is your tank running at? Mines been around 83 with maybe 1 degree fluctuation +/-.
