Is it mold or algae? CS will kill all beneficial bacteria who exist solely to consume harmful waste & render it harmless. If you add CS to the water/filter of a tank, you will likely sterilize it from the mold (if it IS mold), but in a day or two, the fish will be poisoned by their own waste's ammonia & nitrite levels. Best bet is to put the fish in a safe container while you sterilize the tank & ALL of it's contents, then infusing the new water with new bacteria (aquarium stores have it) before returning the fish to it. Fish with fungal/bacterial problems are well treated with cs, only individually, out of the pond/tank water. I would never put CS into my pond or tank because of the antibiotic action. There is a delicate balance to the eco system of a fish tank or pond. When it's disrupted by drastic changes to any of it's components, especially the bacterial friendlies, it becomes a deathtrap to to it's inhabitants.

The fish and water plants affected. Does anyone know if it's safe to add a large amount of CS to the water? Thanks in advance!
