For sure computer fan on top of tank blowing directly to water surface. It lowers my 20G to about 70F while other tanks in the same room get to 80+. And I only use a 35CFM fan, you can use more powerful ones for bigger tanks or to drop the temp even more. It doesn't use much power. I hook mine up with a timer to control the temperature.
