I have a couple of tanks with clear acrylic lids and they curl up on me. Drives me nuts as the tanks aren't large. It is possibly the heat of the lights if they're in the lid that cause the curling?

yes, that would be the reason why, ive turned one upside down too see if it bends back.

Acrylic will curl, polystyrene will not. I use polystyrene light diffuser panels over most of my tanks, one time the local place was out of them. I figured acrylic couldn't curl that bad, I was wrong.
