Warped tank!

[Kennygggkent]

Alright gents,

I just got me a new lid for my 250l,(the other one had holes in it) put it on yesterday and after half a day today this has happened.

Is this normal, Especially to such a degree?

Make a small hole on the top of the lid.

Needs to be able to breathe a little

With the water going out and nothing replacing it you've created a vacuum. I think Tuffers drilled a hole and inserted a long tube to prevent spillage from holed lids

My lid has a piece inside that protrudes downwards which has a hole in it almost to the top

I just stuck a drill down it and drilled the final bit out

Nothing splashes up that

If it is a wyedale internal lid it will have that bit

I had this the other day on my 650 tank. It was almost in half. Undo the lid and it will go back to normal size within a hour or so.

With my tank in the mornings I fill it to the brim. Do the lid up tight. We do a few house so the water level is down. And undo the lid a bit. I don't like a wet van. So I put a pice of rag over the lid to incase any water comes out. The jobs of a lay down tank.

drill a small hole in the lid and install some tubing from and a non return valve,all available online if you look at fish tanks on ebay or amazon,the non return valve will stop water flowing out onto the van floor but allow air into the the tank mate

This is the bit i drilled through in my lid

Never lets water out
