Can I cut this out

Welcome! Glad you joined

+1 vote No do not remove manufacturer bracing as likely designed that way to compensate for thin walls or something else... removal may risk tank failure

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

Didn’t cut out the brace but I am one step closer today. Got to figure out how to build me an ro unit then I can start cycling. I know I can buy a cheap ro on Amazon but I’d rather make my own.

Okay I’ve had my tank up and going for about two months now. Just wondering what the brown on my rocks and sand bed is. Can’t find anything really similar in other posts.

That looks like the first ugly stage started. I would recommend though start a new tread outside of this for this as people tend to say hello here only but never coming back again.
