I also have a centerbrace but I am pretty sure they are there to structurally support the tank.. could be wrong tho.I would like to remove this center piece...has anyone done this or any advice if this will hurt the interpreting of the tank?
Thank you!!
If you are going to remove it because it is black you will need to replace it with something else like a piece of plexi that you will have to plastic weld in or make some sort of pegs or nylon screws. The Center Support makes sure the tank doesn't bow at all as the rimmed tanks arent built quite as well (Thinner glass) as Rimless. At least those are simply my opinions/thoughts.
@Gilbert50 if You are doing the screen tops let me know and I can print any custom pieces you may need to go around anything. or if its just square you can get away with simple corners from Home depot or lowes like these:
Prime-Line 3/8 in. x 3/4 in. Gray Plastic Screen Frame Corner-PL 14272 - The Home Depot
Prime-Line Gray Plastic Screen Frame Corner is used with appropriate screen frame to form a finished window screen. Features plastic construction.www.homedepot.com
I have a thread started here if you need any examples. Simply trying to help out!

Sounds great! Do you have a source for back mesh? I’ve read the clear reflects a lot of light.
Would love more pics!You should consider actually using a 4 piece screen top. My reasoning is this: Using a narrow back section allows you to route power head cords up through it so that that section can stay in place unless you need to remove the PH for cleaning. A small slit in the mesh to push the cord through is all it takes, and it will almost completely self seal around the cord for you. The front sections can be made larger to fill the rest of the open space but are then easily removable for water change day. That's how I did mine and I find it very easy to use that way.
