an accumulation of slime and minerals in your tankwater....put in a guppy or two lor.

Such accumulation is gathered there due to the flow of water passing the wires/hoses constantly due to pump effect. Just like forming of a river delta.

get those unpregnant giant females x 2pcs ~ more hardy and less likely to be sucked into pump....should check disease-free before purchase, avoid using feeders here.

Deposits can also come from your water treatment chemicals, fishwaste, feed, etc, along with slime.
