Tank question

So I have this 150 gallon bow front that I bought from someone and it has 2 cracks on the bottom plastic frame. The cracks are only on the front of the plastic and not on the bottom of the tank. One crack there is a gap between the glass and the plastic frame. I have no idea how that happened. So because the crack is not all the way through is the tank ok to use?

As log as the plastic that is supporting the bottom of the tank is intact, you should be fine. PRoblems happen if the bottom glass is uneven and stresses the seams with the side/front/rear glass.
