Electrical "Leakage" in a tank??

[andsoitgoes]

I did - I used the 3rd ground hole on the plug to test it. I would get readings that would barely show up when having the meter set to 10V, putting it to 50 would show even less, and then nothing at 250.

The floor under the carpet in that area is straight on plywood.

So is that a GOOD thing that I'm completing the circuit? Should I just stop messing around and leave my gimpy hands out of the tank?

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the direction the electrictal wiring runs, or maybe something got a bit damp under my breeding setup that's in front of the "wet spot"?
