That sounds like it could be promising and worth a try! Other things that I've personally done (everything helps, after all) is to try using a large, simple cooler instead of a tank (but set up as a normal tank--it's not very aesthetic, but hey, it works) and/or to move the enclosure down, either to a basement or even just placing it on the floor instead of a stand. Heat rises and even a few inches can make a difference.

I used both, a double fan on the top of the tank and I wrapped my tank with doble isolated foil (back and laterals) and the temperature dropped from 75F to 65F. Now my Axi is happy.
