Custom 50B Sump

[cbau45]

I'm working on a custom sump for my 120gal tank . My question is, can I remove the center brace on my 50B to be used as a sump? If I use some thicker acrylic for my baffles wouldn't this provide the same, if not better, cross support/bracing? Plus the tank won't be full to the top so there won't be as much water pressure on the seams. It is a newer 50B so the center brace is plastic and could easily be sawed off. Any help would be appreciated as this is the first time i've done this.

Thanks,
Craig

you'll be fine, especially since you wont even be filling it 100%.
