It depends on the stand. If it is an All-Glass brand solid
wood of the current solid pine design, you can. I talked
to All-Glass at a trade show about the problem, and they
said that they recommended just knocking it out (use a
rubber mallet), and then putting it back in with screws.
They did mention that it can be difficult getting the
support back in when you do it with a tank on top of the
stand full of water. I did it with a 120 gallon display
tank full of water here in the store, and also did it in a
customers house full of water 75 gallon tank. In order to
be able to get the support back, in with all the weight on
top, I took a small hammer, and taped the support piece to
slightly taper it, and put dow corning non curing silicone
on it to help it slide back in. Worst case senerio, you
could use a car jack to relive pressure to get the support
back in. But it really is not too complicated.

Glass is a hair under 24".

What type of stand is it? You should have more than 24" for that size
tank. Does it have 2 doors with a suport in between the two doors. Often
the support can be taken out, and put back in with screws. That's what I
did with my 120 gallon tank stand. I have a 30 gallon sump in it.

I think Pszemol already has a running tank. Isnt it kind of risky to take
the support out if the tank is full of water, sand and rock? I`m only
butting in because I have the same situation: I have a full 65 gallon tank
and want to put in a refugium underneath. It seems the only tank I can
definitely fit under there is a 10 gallon--maybe a 15---and of course I want
to go bigger. I too have the support brackets.
