Default strange RBTA behavior

I have a big RBTA in the last few days it has started to deflate at 2pm everyday then pumps back up in about an hour and looks great again. its everyday at this time he does this. anyone ever heard or seen a BTA do this? he is in a 80+ gallon tank about 1500gph movement.

My rbta's usually deflate at night, they usually are expelling waste when doing that. I have a tank raised one that has split about 5 times since I got it !

I increased the amount of light time it gets and its doing much better... the strange thing its doing now is it will stretch itself out like its going to split for about an hour .. in different directions... then it just go's back to normal... weird.. hopefully it will split soon ... it sure is trying hard..
