is a 1/10 chiller big enough for a 75 gal tank

Yes. It will keep it @ 78 degrees just fine. Just be sure to size the pump appropriately.

That should be more than enough unless you have to cool it down alot.

I ran that size on my 90 with no problems and it hardly ran BUT Before going to the expense of a chiller and the costs to operate have you thought of using fans at all. A good 6" clip on fan can do a fair amount of cooling a tank that size by blowing across the water. Evaporate cooling can do wonders if you don't need to drop the temps much or the tank is just borderline needing a chiller. I had fans on mine and its the reason my chiller hardly ever came on.............

They will also need a dedicated correctly sized GPH pump or other feed source to get the water passed through them at their required amounts

Yeah, a fan in the sump is great. If you don't have a sump, then you can blow the DT instead.

Loose the glass and add a fan. You don't need a chiller.
