ya its kind of looking like the welds are giving way. In my honest opinion I would drain that bad boy, clean up the corners and do some weld on #40 pours into the corners.

Ya not looking the prettiest. I would plan a takedown as well, don't think you'll wake up with a flood tomorrow but definitely nothing lasts forever. What is the thickness of the acrylic out of curiosity, as well as the height of the tank?

Look up the weld-on #40 thread, that will help you out huge. You say you havent noticed these before, however wear like that should not happen overnight. If it did happen over the course of a shor tperiod of time I would be concerned, if you just didn't notice that is a difference story. When you put the tank back up ensure it is 100% level.

Post some more pics, other seams would help too.
