Removing from stand...

[Texas Reefer]

I'm installing a new tank to my old stand. I think the last owner used these tall pieces as light supports and I think I can remove them and conserve the strength of the stand. I'm installing a bean animal to the overflow box you can kinda see between the tall pieces, and the tall pieces are in the way of the new plumbing. What do y'all think?

I think you'll be just fine. It does look like they were light supports.

I agree, doesn't look structural by any means not that it hurts the strength at all. Does the front of the stand have any center supports?

Yes, there is a center support.

Shouldn't be a problem removing it then:) Good luck with the new tank! Have a build thread for it??

Yes! I haven't updated in a while though... Need to start plumbing!

It looks like there is a center support in the back as well were you looking to pull that out too or just the two taller pieces?? And plumbing is my favourite part!!

Just the taller pieces. Hmm, need to look at my drawing again.

This is as detailed as I got.

Taller pieces you're still okay to get rid of but I'd try and avoid removing the center brace which it looks like in your drawing you won't be removing. Looks like a good plan
