That's should be the best temp your fan can provide u with already.

Anyway even if u can achieve 27 or so also no use coz it will not stay there permanently. Temp will fluctuate due to the surrounding temp also.

If raining day more cooling and if hot n sunny day u can even c it climbing to 29 or so. :)

depend what u wanna keep.

If mainly wan low temp only,

dun locate your tank too near to wall, (at least 4" away)

direct your fan 45 degree and blow across the water surface,

dun use wavemaker,

dun use any form of lighting.

Some1 doesn't 1 2 do anything find an excuse,some1 1 2 do something find a mean!

Do you have any pumps running in the water?

Not all pumps are created equal. Some run warmer than others. And for a nano like yours, it may make a difference.

Show us some photos of your tank if possible.

You can try:

Placing your tank away from direct sunlight.

Placing your tank away from heat sources. e.g. fridge and other electrical appliances.

Reducing number of electrical tank equipment. i.e. lesser pumps, lights, etc...

Use more energy efficient electrical equipment. i.e. LED, more efficient pumps, etc...

Place ice packs that do not leak. Seriously, this will work to lower water temperature especially during hot summer days but will create fluctuations.
