Crazing acrylic tank? safe to set up?

Hi every body, I just bought a acrylic tank off of craigslist for dirt cheap and noticed it has some crazing on the lower front corner and also on the side. I was wondering if its a bad idea to set up, I have it filled now with tap water to see how the system will work out, Im just nervouse about it breaking and flooding my living room some day. Does any one have expierence with this sort of thing?

Take this one to the DIY forum: it may be possible to glue some acrylic sheet to the problem area.
