It aint much different tempwise in the summer here versus there. Anyway if your house is air conditioned the outside temp probably has little to do with your tank temp.
Completely disagree. If you have good air movement, an enclosed canopy will actually be able to remove more heat.

Look at computer cases for example. If I take the cover off my computer, the CPU temperature goes up 15 degrees.

One inlet, one outlet... wind tunnel.
