Reddit mentions of Imagitarium Newport Wooden Tank Stand - for 20 Gallon Aquariums, 24.75 in

Could I remove the middle shelf on this [stand] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008VRXDTO/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza) and would it still be sturdy?

This is the stand I had my 10g on, but I find during maintenance that the stand isn’t sturdy enough and the tank shakes and wobbles sometimes. I have a large metal filing cabinet in the room that is sturdy enough but it’s a bit taller than I would like for a tank stand, and is currently where the WiFi router goes. There’s three Aquariums total right now, two 10g’s for freshwater and one for salt. I am going to put the old tank stand in my room once I find a new one and upgrade my Tiger Salamander to a 20g that fits the stand. The wobbly-ness won’t be as much of an issue if it’s not holding water. But I would like to buy or make a stand for the two freshwater tanks and one for the saltwater by itself. And it is very important I get something to protect any LED lighting bars I purchase for either tanks as my cat likes to jump up on the tank and sit on the mesh metal lid I have for it, and knocked it off enough times that the ramp on/off settings don’t work right anymore. So canopy is a must, but I also can’t use canopy stock lighting as it won’t be enough for plants or maybe corals if I go that route for the saltwater tank. Also, it’s possible I could make the second tank brackish and make a stand that houses all three in a row, but I’m not sure what one could keep in a brackish 10g.
