I read somewhere that you should wrap a blanket around the tank,but disconnect the power so that the blanket doesn't cause a fire or anything when power is restored.

I'll repeat the procedure tomorrow,for the sake of science,but I don't beleive it will matter,I'm sure I did the test right.Unless I accidently added an extra drop.How sensitive is the test?
Could it have anything to do with the...
