Jim, DO NOT put CS in your fish pond! It WILL kill your fish. I don't have personal experience with this, but through the years on this list the topic has come up a number of times.......and each time someone did it, fish were lost. I don't remember all the details as to why, but I would recommend try some of the other suggestions (plants, straw bundles) instead, to relieve your algea problem
