Using GFCI with power bar

[Winters]

Hello! I've got a 90g with 20g sump, skimmer, pump, two 250W MH pendants, etc. Am planning to install two GFCIs, replacing the standard outlets. I'm not sure how everything should get plugged in for best efficiency and safety. Should I not get a power bar and just try to plug everything into the outlet straight? (That could be a problem) Or should I get a good powerbar with a surge protector just for the lights and pump?

What would spread out the electrical input best? And is it still safe to have a surge protecting powerbar on a GFCI? Will the GFCI still trip if a short happens even if the lights are plugged into a powerbar on the GFCI outlet?

Thanks in advance!!
