It sounds like your problem is with the air conditioner that is
ignoring your settings. Perhaps if you increased the air conditioner
to 70? Add ceiling fan to move cooled air to your aquarium? Buy
another air conditioner? At the aquarium end you can keep the lights
off during the really hot times, remove cover glass or hood if you
don't have a tank of high jumpers. Increase water movement with an
additional power head which will increase evaporation and improve
oxygenation in the water. Move to Maine. And bring lots of warm
clothes.
