as long as there is ample and clear air movement around the exposed surfaces of the water you could get away with just using fans. the more enclosed the hood is the less likely you will be able to get away with fans alone.

you have a big thing going against you on those tanks for fans alone keeping the water cool. those are taller tanks and not low wide tanks. that means the waters surface area is not as great. so the amount of cooling potential is much lower when it comes to evaporative cooling.
