Would you be concerned?

So, I found a good deal for a SCA 150 gallon ($700, tank, stand and a reactor) and decided to jump on it. My question is whether you would be concerned with two "issues" I've found. First, obvious razor blade marks in the side silicon from what I would assume norm glass cleaning, and the left glass panel is not 90 degrees (more perfect at the top, approx 1/8 protruding near the bottom). I've included pictures so you can more easily see what I am describing.

Place tank on a leveling mat (either 3/8" rubber or 1/2' styrofoam. )
I would guess previous owner used a flipper magnet unit which does this or razor). I suggest to Fill with water or have seller do this and verify no leaks and see if water weight evens out gap somewhat but again leveling mat will help with that part

I'm really mostly concerned about the glass panel. I hadn't noticed it until I got home and was assured it holds water. I know there's no way of telling without filling it, just wanted some opinions on whether or not someone may have experienced this with a tank before. I tried to outline the panels to give a better description of what I'm referring to.

I wouldnt worry sbout the glass poping out like that. It was most likely from ehen it was built. I have a 40 year old 135g running and the side panel is like that as well. One pops out and the other doesnt. Its due to how they put it together.


I would however get a bigger mat. Those gaps would nake my ocd go crazy.
