I'm not sure what you are talking about. Are you talkign about the base of the tankstand or the actual glass? I had to remove my crossbeam on my stand to get my refugium in there and I jsut made a new 1 with some woods and liquid nails. I don't seem to be having a problem yet... hopefully.

Next I needed a new top to compliment the new clear bracket. Using 1/4 inch plexi glass and the original top to trace I made a duplicate with a small door. I first cut the overall size. Then I traced the front. Then notched the back for some plumbing. Then cut the door.

Do you mean the one on top of the tank? The black plastic support thing? I was told to cut mine out for the sake of a metal halide.. but decided not to, so that the guarantee on the tank wouldn't be void. There is the possibility that nothing will go wrong... I would just be more cautious. How? I'm not sure... sorry that I can't be of more help. Good luck!

Also instead of making it removable you can weldon it into place. Instead of the plastic wing nuts used in those images.
