Default Re: MY Power Supply Has Me Confused - can't control Current

I just had the tank bar with about 22 sq in of nuts / bolts on it. Am I supposed to put a resistor in line with it? The power supply is a 10amp constant current type, identical to the ones Caswell sells. I'll check out what the voltage numbers are doing (I was only pay attention to amps). Is there a way to figure out what kind of resistor I need? A mathematical equation or any resource that has rules of thumb? Also, is it as easy as picking one up from Radio Shack or are they a special type? Thanks for the quick responses above. I had read the thread on the 3amp power supply.
