Depending on your tank size, you could run an airstone or run a fan across the surface of your water to help bring the temp down quickly.
You don't happen to have some new salt water sitting at room temperature you could add to your system, do you?
A bag of ice cubes floating in the sump could help too.

Bad luck.

Anything lower than the current tank temperature would help to bring down the higher temperature. Depending on what percentage water change you have available, I wouldn't be concerned about slowly or not. 10 - 20% I would change quickly - 50% I would do over a half hour or less.
