Warped wood

I made the mistake of not sealing the bottom - the top is all stained and protected to a smooth glassy finish.. which is why this erks me so.. I am guessing it warped from the heat of the lights and the humidity of the tank. I have 110w PC.. I could prolly do the 2x4 thing but it will not look as nice as I would like.. I wanted no air flow restriction for when I put my fans in.. I was just hoping I might be able to weight it down and dry it.. with it flattening out.. maybe I will just have to redo the lid.. ugh..
