Welcome to Reef2Reef!!! I would strongly recommend against removing the bracing. Good luck with your new adventure!

Welcome! Bracing is used for support to make sure the tank doesn’t crack, shatter etc. Was that bought new, if it came with a manufactures warranty. That would void it and they won’t replace it.

Welcome to R2R
Do not remove the center brace, I once cut the center brace off of a 55 gallon, the front glass immediately bowed out and was in danger of bursting. I had to replace a new tank because of my mistake.

NO
Welcome to the community. Definitely not, especially since it is a bow front tank to begin with.
Welcome! I would agree, don't cut it out.
You already know what I am going to say about cutting it, LOL

Welcome to R2R!!! To answer your question, no do not remove the brace. The glass on your tank will bow due to the thickness of the glass. Do not remove the brace. Glad to have you!

Welcome to R2R!
Recommend that you don’t mess with any structural parts of the aquarium. They are there for a reason!
