got a new coralife pro 36 inch light BUT

[kafug]

but my tank has a brace right thru the main light. Just wondering if any one new if it would work to remove it and put a 2 braces a little closer to the edges. Just need enough room to get around the 6inch light,or could i just take it out completely or will i have a lake on my floor in the moring water. Any ideas please let me know oh tank is a 55 gallon 36Lx18wx18h with 8mm glass.
