when you weld acrylic to acrylic you do just that, weld it. so the joint becomes a structural part of the plastic and if it is done right it is just as strong as the rest of the plastic, soooo.. you are left with cutting the piece out and make sure you use a proper type of blade or it will crack and possibly crack the other piece also (ie. the tank wall)
you have to find out also if the devider is acting as a brace for the sump walls, if it is you don't want to remove it. what I recomend is to get a dremmel with a little mini two fluted router bit (I have seen them at home depot with carbon cutting edges) then use it to rout the devider out. you won't be able to get right up against the outside for a flush finnish, but if you are real carfull and get close you could use a little file or scraper, and sand paper and take the stub down. either way a long a tedious job. depending on what you end goal is it might be faster just to get it as close as you can and leave it.
