You can do that through evaporative cooling which is just having a fan blowing across the top of the water surface.

"Through the proper use of fans (evaporative cooling), you can usually drop a tank's temperature by a good 5 degrees. Fans are great! "

"The effect of evaporative cooling is greater than most people realize. A small desk fan mounted above a tank blowing across the water can drop the temperature by 3 degrees or so depending on the tank volume. "

It is possible to cool an aquarium by 5 or 6 degrees using this method of ventilation and evaporative cooling.
