Affects of Chlorine?

[LukeV]

What are the affects of chlorine in reef tanks? In the past I've cleaned my filter socks with tap water and added them back to the tank. While I haven't experienced any noticeable problems, I don't want something to happen.

Thanks

Generally shouldn't be a problem if you get as much of the water out of the items as possible before placing back into aquarium. What size tank ?

60 gallon tank with probably 10 gallon sump

I agree it is not a concern. The effect would be irritated organisms.
