Try directing a fan at the surface of the water. Google for "evaporative cooling +reef".

Tank size? Light Wattage? Top or no top?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Could your heater be jammed on? Tanks don't usually randomly go up 4 degrees this time of year. +1 on using a fan if it's from your lights or sun.

Def sounds like a bad heater to me that's almost no lighting.
