I would recommend a chiller with at least 1/3hp so that you can adequetly bring the termperature of the water down.

Depends on the brand. But no less than 1/4 hp even from the most expensive brands. I would try to go 1/3 to 1/2hp.
Don't forget you have to take into consideration how hot your room gets during the worse of heatwaves, and how well ventilated your equipment and lights are.
