I noticed splitting along one of the bottom boards that frames the load bearing vertical 2x4s. The bottom 3 screws are fine. I already glued some parts so I’m hoping I can finish the plywood sheeting and not worry about it.

Hi all! New to the hobby and I’m building a stand for my new 20g long. I’m looking for ways to stabilize it besides cross posts which won’t fit into the final design (inspo 3rd and 4th pic). I started with the basic plans and am thinking of putting plywood skins on all sides with the front and back being one piece kinda like where the red lines are in the first picture. Would I be able to use 1/4 plywood for this purpose? Also do I seal the plywood top before I attach it or after? Thank you for any advice
