patch 300 gallon acrylic

Best wait to do a preventative fix on this incase it is worse than what it seems.....I bought a used acrylic 300 from a guy. Havent reid water yet because I am building the stand ect... I noticed when buying theere is maybe a 6" section in upper frnt left seem that has white hazing almost looks like salt build up between the seam. Also on the left side where it mates to the frnt there is a crack with web like smaller ones coming off it. Now the guy said it was like that when he bought it. My question is could these possibly be seperation and salty creep got inbtween the seam over time or if this is common for acrylic tanks??? Also call me weird but I also put my mouth on the area and blew and air went through. I did the same in healthier looking areas and the air did not. So now im worried. However the white part does not look like it went through seem yet for the seam is still visable and does not look violated other than a few bubbles pushn on it. This said it really is only say 1/16th inch from the whitsih marks. All info will help to put my mind at rest! Pics cant upload but if you shoot me your email ill be more than happy to forward them for better judgement- Thanks in advance!
