Will cutting a small piece (2 inches long) of the black plastic rim of a 29 gallon Aqueon tank be okay? I need to attach the protein skimmer to the rim of my tank, but it was designed for a rimless tank. The 29 gallon Aqueon tank is not rimless and has a plastic rim all the way around. Will this affect the structural integrity of the tank?

I have removed parts of the inside "lip" before (where a lid would rest) on several tanks but left the rest of the rim. This was to fit light arm mounts and such.
