Hey everyone, very cool site...

I have some questions as a newbie and am unsure which forum to post them in. sorry if this is the wrong one. Anyways...I just bought a 46 G from J&L and some accessories...I still have a few more things to get before I can start cycling. I need a couple of questions answered before I get too ahead of myself. First off, is a GFCI outlet neccesary? Or will a surge protected power bar be fine to start? I worry about the GFCI breaking when I'm gone and wipping out the tank with the power loss. We are in a basement suite and the wiring isn't seperated to the upstairs suite so our breaker has been known to cut off with alot of activity from the "lovely" neighbours upstairs. Any suggestions? Second question, if I don't start with a wavemaker (I'll get one for x-mas maybe) should I leave my PH's on 24/7 or put them on a timer? Last question, for now anyway, what kinda timer is recommended for my lighting unit?

Sorry to make this so long....but a guys gotta ask his questions right?
