I also have my tank beside a large glass window.
Everything is thriving. I just keep my water chemistry as close to ideal as possible.

I used 20m long, 8mm, plastic tubing saka styro na lalagyan ng ice candy and a small pump. The idea is to put the rolled 20m tube inside then add ice. Then the small pump will run the water from the sump to the plastic tube then will be colled inside teh styro then back to the sump. Grabe angbilis maubos nung ice. 10 pcs na yelo nilagay ko to test ung mga nabibili ng 2-3pesos. Parang mga 4hrs lang sya inabot.
Nasa cycling period pa ko and i'm worried na pagdating nung summer baka sobrang init ng tubig nung tank ko.
By the way, my tank is 50g main ang 15g sump. Nung di pa ko gumagawa ng canopy at ala pa lights nasa 80f ung temp ko pero ngayon umaabot na sya ng 83f. Gusto ko sana makapag alaga din ng mga corals. Merob ba corals na pwede sa up to 83f na temp?
Thanks po in advance

I ended up with a chiller in the end. Nothing much to think about. The stress of having not enough ice during summer and staying up just to control temperature is just not worth it.

Keeping the heat out is just as effective as getting it out. If no heat gets in, there will be no need for the chiller to turn on. So how to keep the heat out? I've gone as far as wrapping my main tank with styrofoam panels when I am not enjoying it. This along with evaporative cooling worked though only marginally.
Another method that is worth mentioning, is using a super sump. Mine was suppose to be a 2000, maybe 3000, gallon below ground cement tank I had built (but never got to commission) outside our house. According to literature, the ground's temperature, like the sea's, does not swing much over a 24-hour period. I never was able to commission our super sump however having moved on to other interests so we eventually had it filled in and paved over.
Last method, though I've never used this since it was not available then, is to use LED lighting instead of MH or even FL bulbs. LEDs are not only more efficient at generating light but they also produce less heat. So sure they are expensive but I suspect the savings from the lower cooling requirement will be as significant as the direct savings from the more efficient lighting. The thought crossed my mind to recommission the metal halides I have from my early aquarium days but having said the above I'll probably not be using them.
