Sorry if this has already been answered, but is there a safe product to use to treat a tank that has white fuzzy mold growing around the edges of the tank at the top of the water level? This is a 20 gallon tank with only 1 betta fish in it. I clean out the mold every week when I do a water change, but it would be nice to find a product that would combat it. Its not a terribly large amount, but I am sure it would be if I didn't clean it once a week. Just as important, is there a way I can maybe prevent this from happening in the first place? Here are the aquarium stats:
