New mark on glass?

[Mr. Hyde]

I was cleaning my power head today and I noticed, what looks to be, a new scratch or something in my glass. I have never noticed it before and after examining the whole side I have found a few more. Obviously my concern is glass integrity because I really don't want 180 gallon of saltwater on my living room floor but have you guys ever seen anything like this? I cannot feel it on the inside or the outside of the glass, and it does not go all the way through the glass or connect to the edge. I may be over thinking this but just wanted to seek some advice.

Based on what I'm seeing in the picture and your description, it appears to be a scratch on the glass that should not impact the integrity of the tank. My suggestion would be to continue to monitor it.

@Joe Glass Cages - thoughts?

I know that you said that you can't feel it. Another approach might be to take a razor blade and move it over the area in question to see if it catches in the scratch at all.

You can also only see it at certain angles when the light catches it. Not sure what would have caused it honestly but there are a few more on that side. Different areas but you cannot feel them on either the inside or the outside. Would my magfloat cause something like this? It had some build up on it (light white pieces) that I just cleaned off but I was thinking that maybe it cause it when I was cleaning?

Yes, it is not unusual if a small piece of sand (or comparable) gets caught in the mag float.

I agree with @Peace River, looks like a scratch. no issues, just a bummer.
