It comes off very easily, but comes back after a bit of time… is it that my tank is about to blow up or something lool just worried!
 
Just for clarity of discussion, the SAME exact place, or this stuff in the same area?

Scratches in the glass may gather algae and other stuff, and those don't move really.

I’ll have to snap some photos a few hours a part, but, they always come back in the same exact area. That spot where i took the picture and around the left panel

Did you get the tank 2nd hand? Probably scratches with algae in them.
Brand new. But probably maybe? They werent there a few weeks ago and im worried it means that the tank will explode since its not on the best table

Is this a for sure sign? Or can i literally just be the pattern that white stuff is settling in?

Check your magnet for debris.

I don't know why they would cause the tank to explode but if you have that little confidence in the stand maybe you should look for an alternative?
Maybe me being paranoid but yes, on friday ill be getting another tank stand because im getting a second tank anyways. But true, could be my paranoia 😭

Yeah the scratches won't make it leak. Only cracks in the glass, not scratches.
