What is pic 3 of ? Pic 2 looks like the wooden trim has come away so shouldn't be a problem. I would fill it up in a garage and leave it a few days and while its sat there you can look at the silicone seals and get an idea if they are good or not, do you have a pic of the bottom of the tank to see if it is braced.
Big tank what's going in it ?
1) 140 gallon with 70 gallon sump. 1 German Rams, 50 neons , 16 Schwarzi cory, 10 harlequin rasbora, 6 Hengals Rasbora, 2 Bulldog Plecs, 4x dwarf Gouramis, 12 golden barbs, 12 cherry barbs,8 Yellow Boesemani Rainbows and loads of assasin snails. Sump has central heating pump. water flows through a 4 layer foam and 1- 2kg of bio, also has a 18"x 18" algae scrubber that works well. fluval U2 to transfer to my QT when needed

pic 3 is the other end, nothing really excpet it is notched, i had camera so extra pic never hurt .. no brace at bottem, i checked, there is no signs of one every being there. the centerpiece is about 1/2 in glass. it is thick, the tank is real thick to. not that i have ever felt up alot of tanks, lol.. ok bad joke. on what is going in it; just expanding my 75 community tank, up a school and add a severum. maybe add some reed(rope) fish.
also the back to the glass, it really is thick, me and a friend can lift a 75 no problem. this tank took 3 people and we struggled, not sure if that says anything on why a brace isnt at the bottem.
also the stand does it look good, is homemade, I have never seen one like that

I've never seen a bottom brace on any tank. That stand will look a whole lot better once painted and it looks very solid.

As long as the tank has not had anything removed off of it, and there are no cracks/chips in the glass, you should be OK. That plastic/wood looking stuff looks like it was added for looks and not structure
If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Cliff knows more than Me so he could be right about re-sealing the tank, If I was going to do it I would probably re-build it completely. I have 2 Juwel tanks that have a frame underneath, They are made with a suspended base, removing the need for polystyrene between the aquarium and cabinet, Just asked the question as Juwel say the tank will break if the base is broken
