Probably will depend on where your bracing supports are located.  Unfortunately very few stands are made the same.

You could always reinforce the inside of the stand with 2x4's first and then cut out your center brace, and replace it after the install is complete. By reinforcing with 2x4's I mean actually building a second structure inside of your existing stand to make up for the missing center support. Unless the tank is not setup yet then you won't have to worry about this step.
