Eire white stuff on silicone

So I noticed this weird white stuff on almost all the silicone part in my tank(suction cups, elbows, and fluval 307 pipe connectors), and it has been since about a month after the filter was installed, which was about 10 months ago. It isn’t calcium or mold, as it is always completely submerged. It isn’t affecting water quality, as nothing changed even when I was 2 months behind on maintenance 😰. It just looks ugly. Thanks, and all help or opinions are appreciated.

The picture is after I scraped some of it off. Maybe it will help.

I do not know what it is but all my fluval get like this. When I fed golden pearls 1 and cyclops it was cream colored (same as packaged food) build up so I’m guessing tiny food particulates adhere to it. 🤷‍♀️ I just shut the stop valve and wipe it off. I’ve never seen a negative impact.
