I was filling my 200 gallon tank and. It over filled and went everywhere my stand is made of 2x4 but I have these bubbles looks like it's in my glass on bottom of tank. Never notice them befor. Does anyone know what it could be? Is it just from the tank being overfill and water went under fish tank? Should I empty it? It's to heavy to move. I'm scared please help..here is some pictures

Just looks like water droplets on the underside of the tank from when it overflowed. Try wiping them away, if it’s just water then problem solved (unless it is a leak).

It's 200 gallon tank I can't get under it. To wipe it away. Do you think it's nothing to worry about?

Erm... but you only get this if there is room right under it. You can really not reach there? Not even sticking a cloth in the gap under the tank? o_O

I used a blow dryer to get the water that overfilled and went everywhere in the gap between tank and trim out maybe it splashed up under tank and left droplets. And the glass is magnifying it? Just making sure it's not stress marks or the tank is gonna blow out. Thanks for all your help by the way.

it's under the tank, it will dry eventually. if you can't get to it from under the stand, (if it has access doors for equipment) then don't worry about it. it will dry out eventually. Try not to do it again, water sitting until drying isn't good for the wood.

I'd add maybe a shop vac, with one of the flat attachments, might create enough negative pressure to pull the water.

Just a thought.

Nothing to worry about. You could possibly use a blow dryer on low heat if it’s making you crazy.

As to overfilling tanks, it could always be worse, you could have gotten distracted while filling your tank and have water literally running out from under the walls of your house with two inches of standing water inside. Which happened to me.

Luckily my fish room is tiled with a concrete slab so could have been much worse.

Thanks everyone appreciate the help . Yeah I have one of those pythons and was filling it and went into garage and and got distracted. Came back in and the water was pouring out the sides. Iike a waterfall it was like a 30 seconds but that was allot of water I used my carpet cleaner to soak up water called the aquarium store I got my stand from and he said what holds the tank up is the 8 2x4 and if you dry it up you will be alright. It was allot of water I guess if you put your hose in your house and turn it on for 30 seconds that's allot of water when you think about it.‍♂️glad it's made from 2×4s
