Vegas or desert Axolotl parents!

Beginner Keeper

I need help, i just adopted 2 sweet babies and im having trouble keeping their temperature down,(im a first time axolotl parent idk what im doing) i was given their tanks along w the fans their previous mom was using, but i can not get the temperature to stay consistently low aiming for 60-65degrees To add they are each in their own 30 gallon tank

my house is set to 74 degrees, i do live in las vegas so its hot af outside so my question for you desert dwellers is how do you do it? please give me all your tips and tricks, i may have to bite the bullet and get chillers but i would need to get two and thats gonna set me back about $600 so here im asking the reddit for some help.

some pics of the babies! and their set up.

before yall comment the desk has been lowered so they are below the window now, and the tanks are not full because this desk will not be able to hold both of the tanks when they are full, so i ordered a fish tank stand that can hold them and will be moving them as soon as that gets here!

thanks again
