Killing mold by tank???

How would I go about getting rid of mold by a fish tank? It is on the wall about 10 to 15ft away from the tank. I was thinking clorox might work but not sure. Three yrs ago I lost my entire tank to lysol so i know that it is out of the question.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Yeah, Bleach and water mixture will kill mold, just dump the rag in the solution, ring it out and wipe down.

The bleach smell in the air will not affect the corals?

Use a mix of bleach and water. Keep it mild, and follow with a freshwater washdown.
