Default Removing center brace on 130g

Hi all I have a 60.5x18.5x27.5 all glass tank with half inch glass all round and 5\8 on bottom. I also have a 14" glass brace 1/2" thick thats just the perfect obstruction in the middle? My idea... I can box the tank in (sides) from top to bottom with whatever size plywood and brace it as much as i want. Will this allow me to remove my black trim, cut out the center brace and go with 3" eurobracing all the way round? Have any of you done this? I know Dez cut most of his brace out and just left the perimeter. Dez why didnt you jus cut it right out and go with eurobracing? I plan to half drain my tank,but cutting like Dez, the glass would be a killer shower on all life below. Any ideas would be helpful but i really want to get rid of that brace... Thanks all
