I used to keep a reef tank also which is why I'm concerned with these chemicals destroying the 'life' in my soil, assuming I've done it correctly to get the life there in the first place. I found a filter that removes nearly all of the chlorine and chloamine for about $100 with no waste water. I'll probably just grab one of those so I don't have to worry about it.
The argument was that organics take longer to become available to the plant and thus a larger volume of soil will give the plant more area to collect needed nutrients from versus being in a small container (with plenty of nutrients in the soil) and the plant having to wait for more nutrients to become available.
Uh ok, this makes sense.
