Not so bad
Clip the big pieces off, or better yet use a dremel if you have one.
Then you can use some low grit sandpaper and sand it down so it's more even at least.

My concern was more with the severe cracking. I am going to grab another box tomorrow and a hole bit. Thank you for the advice on how to salvage the bin though

Ahh it's kind of hard for me to see it, but if it hasn't entirely split open the tub you could probably get away with taping it or silicone it, although it would probably hinder visibility. If a new tub is no big deal then I would do that 
The best way I have found to make my holes is heat up a big empty can of beans  on your stove top for a minute and then press it on the plastic tote and slowly spin it. It makes a perfect circle for me every time. People get away with using hole saws too, but I find the tote is more prone to crack when using them. Make SURE to use an oven mitt and ventilate where you are melting plastic.
You sound like you've done a lot of research, but just a reminder, make sure you get the biggest SAB you can. If you plan to G2G gran jars in the future you should consider the height of the box as well. Check out this giant one.

Dremel to the rescue! Also I went with a 30gal tote. It was the tallest clear bin I could find 13.5"

I thought I would update this. I started using agar and now I have spawn for days. I have 2 mono and 1 shotgun going. I also have 5 cakes ready to go with 3 more Pink Oyster, Golden Oyster and Lions main colonizing now. Thanks for all the advice. Between the agar and the still air box , my beginner blues are over!

Yes indeed I removed them after 2 uses. I also shortened the tubes sleeves. Thank you for the advice though
