Ok those are simply exactly what I thought it was, try my method first should work as I have done that to a couple stands for other people.

You can do it.

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?

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.
