It a MarineLand stand correct? Just make sure you put the brace back in solid & you will be good to go.

Yes Grizz, it is a Marineland stand. The new stand is not here yet, but it will arrive in a week or so. I am ready to do it and will follow your instructions.

would removing the center brace make it too weak in the middle to hold the heavy tank?

Jason, please read his instruction here :wink:

most store-bought stands appear to me to be built only as strong as needed. certainly not overbuilt by any means. If they put a centre brace in I wouldn't risk removing it permanently.
