HOB skimmer with eurobraced tank

I currently have the BH100f on my 90gal reef. I'm upgrading to a 150g tank that I happen to have. Unfortunately I can't do a sump and would like to stick with a HOB skimmer. I really like the one I have. Is it possible to mod the intake and outflow to fit over the brace? Will the unit still function properly?

Any ideas? Here are some pics of the tank:

I will check when I get to the office tomorrow but I think one of the larger super reef hob skimmers will fit.
