I have 13 GFCIs and 2 Surge suppressors
 Think it'll do the trick ?

Yes, that's perfect. I don't understand why there are no surge protectors (being sold) where each plug is it's own GFI. For reefers it would be awesome.
Ideally you'd have a few different circuits, lightly loaded with a surge protection (might as well protect the whole house at the panel) and separate GFIs for all the gear. A few switches are nice too so you can shut down a pump or whatever easily. A few regular plugs are good for anything that doesn't contact water and you want to save a few bucks. The electrical along can run $200-600 for a big tank. That's just under the stand.

FYI for anyone looking at my contraption ...
The GFCIs are not hard-wired - they are corded to the power bars so are still controllable

Glad to hear all turned out ok, what a scary situation, you must have angels looking out for you!
I was thinking about starting an electrical thread to see how everyone has theirs set up. I have my power bars attached to the legs of my stand, as I make such a mess with water, but I'm out of plug ins and need more equipment..... Gregzz4 - where did you find those outlets?

When I first started designing the panel, what crossed my mind was how disasterous would it be if something blows a GFCI ? How many hardware pieces would go down all at once ?
I decided to give every piece that contacts water it's own
