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

Tank size? Light Wattage? Top or no top?

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.
