Absolutely recommend 2 dedicated circuits for a tank of that size. Split everything in half...lighting, heaters, pumps... when one circuit blows the tank won't be in trouble. Saved my *ss more than once. GFIs on both.

As for power use, I can pretty safely assume I'm more than 10A. My system uses 4 dedicated circuits.
