Center brace removal on 75 gallons

[ROX'S REEF]

Bought my 75 gallon from a friend to put in my man cave I've had it running for about a year with 4 primes 2 regular and 2 hd. One problem I had with the tank was the center brace I felt it was blocking the light everyone said no the light spread but either way hated it. I did a very small amount of research on the best way to remove it and figured I want it off so just go for it I did and here are some pics it's been about 7 months now and going. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just dont... I prefer my water to stay in my tank.

People were running 300DDs for years before they let go... if it’s there, it’s probably supposed to be there

I know that's why I replaced it with the acrylic epoxy and nylon screws.
