When it is so hot outside these days in Vancouver (something that does not happen too often), the water in the tank getting warmer and reached 84F.
I was wondering whether it is going to hurt my fish and whether there is any way to cool the water down with out getting a chiller?
 
aim a fan to blow over the tank surface, or even move it to the basement if possible. floating freezer packs in the water works, too.
 
A fan tends to work pretty well. In my tank I have 2 small computer fans and they can drop my temps about 5-10D F which is nice when it starts to get up to 85D F. Do a search for cooling fans and you should see what we are talking about. You can also take a look at the following link for some help.

You can freeze a few (sealed) bottles of water and put them in your tank.

You can keep the top open (lower water level if there's jumpers).
