My voltage is already set to 10v and whenver I turn up the amp knob I get nothing. Fluctuates around .06amp but won't dump. I'm unsure if it's the plating tank makeup or if it's wiring.
What power supply are you using?

I'm gonna guess it's one of the low-cost power supplies. If that's the case, many of those power supplies can't handle low resistance loads, and go into protection mode, thinking it's got a short circuit.

You many have to add a low value resistor in series to bring the load resistance up to the point where it will operate.
