1) Clorine is one of the 16 elements that plants use/require

2) If Cloromines are used ( and they are now in most cities) They do not evaporate so air stone bubbling, leaving sit out all useless, They are removed either with charcoal filters or ascorbic acid.

Chlorine has a number of benefits to plant growth. Many people make the common mistake of mixing up the plant nutrient chloride (Cl-) with the toxic form chlorine (Cl). Chloride is vital for many different plant functions, despite only being classified as a micronutrient. It is highly essential, combined with the element potassium (K+), for the proper function of the plants stomatal openings. Through the utilization of these two elements, the plant is able to control its internal water balance.
