Has Anyone Removed Center Support on Planet Aquarium Tank?

[Razorbacks]

I've not been able to fit any sump through the openings in the stand so seems like I'll need to remove a brace/support.

Anyone have similar challenge with this stand and which brace did you remove?

Common issue with many stands and large sumps. Many people have removed and replaced them after the sump is installed but once the water goes in the sump is not coming out with out draining the tank
