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.

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

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.
