I need some solid advice here. I built my sump (3'x18") for my display (4'x2') and I'm having trouble getting the sump into the stand. The only way this sump is going in is to either:
A. Knock out a piece of the wall behind the stand to give the sump more room to swing around.
B. Knock out a large hole in the wall behind the stand and run all of my plumbing to the other side of the wall and relocate my sump there.
C. Knock out the center brace of the stand while the display tank is full, put the sump in, then replace the brace... as quickly as possible.
I'm leaning toward option C, but I'm not sure if this piece is structural, or simply in place for the doors to rest against. If it's just there for the doors, great. If it's structural, I'm thinking about using a 3.5 ton floor jack with a 2x4 to support the tank while I install the sump.
I would like to plumb the tank this afternoon. If someone knows definitively about this piece of wood, please speak up.

TIA!
