I took the brace out of mine 3 years ago, sometimes they are there for nothing more than a place to put your light strips. a good way to tell if you don't mind trying it is to take it out and then slowly fill the tank.. every couple inches use a strait edge along the top of the glass and measure the amount of bow. mine only bowed less than 1/64th of an inch when it was full any more than 1/16th and replace it with a glass beace or euro brace.
