Using GFCI with power bar

Sounds good! I'll try to plug in the two MH pendants into a surge protecting powerbar on one of the GFCI outlets. As for the pumps and heater, I'll plug them into a second surge protected powerbar on another GFCI outlet.

Now, I would like the lights to be on a timer. Should I simply plug two timers into the powerbar and plug the two lights into the (two) timers? I also have a grounding probe that needs to be plugged-in. Should this be plugged into the GFCI outlet directly or is it okay for it to be plugged into the power bar which is then plugged into the GFCI? Or should the probe not be plugged into the GFCI outlet at all?

Thanks in advance!
