Start raising it, but very slowly. I would take at least 2 weeks to get it up. As for stray voltage go to your LFS and get a grounding probe and install it. That would be one way to eliminate the possibility. As for the food, before you buy any fish ask your LFS what they are feeding. When asking be specific like what kind and what brand. And yes, I would certainly thaw any frozen food before feeding it. Better yet, if you can use flake or pellet food it won't add as many nitrates and phosphates to your tank--but for acclimation I would feed what ever the LFS feeds.
When I talk about acclimation, I don't neccesarily mean the immediate acclimation that we do to get the critter into the tank. I am speaking of the following weeks that it takes for them to become more acustomed to the system.
