Hi I was wondering if this stand modification I did on my 46 gallon bowfront tank stand is ok. Its going to be a reef tank so it will have probably around 30-50 lbs of pucani rock and reef rock from BRS (I have 70 lbs total but not sure how much I'm gonna need because the pucani is huge!) Anyhow here is what I did. My aqueon model 2 proflex sump wouldn't fit. In the corners I needed about 1/4" more. There is no way I wanted to pack it all back up and ship it back so I removed the rear center brace and the two rear boards on both sides and basically just installed them in the same place as they were but on the outer part of the top instead of the inner. That's it. Do you guys think this will be ok? Other than being ugly where the boards were(I'm thinking about finding some small boards and painting them black to fill the gap but they won't really be structural just covering the holes.
