Removing Braces

[ptw205]

My glass sump busted it’s bottom seam and I need to remove it. However I can’t get it out with out moving two of the braces from the stand - pic below. Has anyone actually done this before? 6 ft stand.

I would drain the tank as much as possible before attempting this to remove as much weight and stress being held up by the supports.

I wouldn’t touch the bracing at all. If it was my tank I’d completely dismantle the sump by taking out in pieces.

Yeah I’ve been f’n around with this 3 am and I am done - just going to tear it down. The stand design and the idea of putting a 60
Inch sump in this was just idiotic. Unfortunately for me, it came shipped to me like this and I didn’t consider 6 yrs down the road before the LFS assembled it for me. All the posts appear load bearing.
