I noticed these crack just now around the perimeter of my 100 gal acrylic tank that I got from a friend earlier this month.
I also noticed that the aquarium now has a gap between it and the stand that was not there on instillation (pics 4 + 5)
Any advice would be welcome! I have a flight in 7 hours for christmas and won’t be home until january. It’s after midnight and all the pet stores are closed.

Is that a stand? It looks like a dresser.
So that is called crazing. It can be okay, just a cosmetic issue, but i wonder if it is leaking. Or if that water is from a water change.
The tank itself can’t bow upwards, so I’m guessing the furniture you have it on is sagging under the weight. A 100-gallon tank weighs 830-1000 pounds, depending on the substrate. If that is just a random piece of furniture isn’t strong enough to hold that weight. I would get it off that stand asap. Drain down the water and move the tank onto the ground.
