210g Stand Support

[Aaron-A2]

I have a new SCA 210 gallon aquarium w/ hardwood stand. I have to remove at least one front support to fit my sump inside. Before I install it back...

Can I remove one/both of the left/right front supports, keep the middle one, and still maintain structural integrity?

I had a similar issue with my tank. I needed to add a 75 gallon sump. I ended up removing 1 of the 2 center braces. Before I removed it I called the stand manufacturer, and they told me it was fine to do it as long as there wasn't water in the system. Found that mine was designed to be removed. So I would check that first.
