I see no problem using the Peltier coolers you have. But as pointed out you have to get rid of the heat from the hot side. Maybe run the heat sinks on the hot side in water and use a small radiator with a fan to cool it.
If you are going to run the tank much below room temperature insulating it will help.
As I pointed out submerged pumps are heaters. Switching to a non submerged pump will help. If you are on a budget think about an air driven filter. They are old tech but work well if sized correctly.
Another option is to increase the water volume by adding a sump. Pump the water from the sump to the tank above it and the water overflows back to the sump. You can use the sump for a large filter if you like. Make the sump with a large surface area and you can blow water over it. If you make the sump large enough it will also increase the O2 level in the tank due to decreased fish/water ratio. Sumps are great.
It is possible to build overflows that do not require drilling the tank.
