In the summer, evaporation cools your tank. This means lower cost for chillers etc.. I run fans in the summer that blow air over the top of my aquarium and that meets all my cooling needs at a fraction of the energy consumption from a chiller.

There is a video instruction in BRS on how to make a screen top for your tank.
