Default chiller size??

does anyone know what the formula is for figureing out the size of chiller/gallon required. i have a 180gallon plus 75 sump, with 1200 watts metal halide lighting i have had a 1/3 HP chiller running so far but lately it's haveing trouble keeping up. Am i overdriving or does the chiller need a charge?
Can anyone suggest some alternative cooling ideas as my power bill is going crazy, not to mention the heat comeing from the chiller
