Pour chlorine into sea water and you get chlorine gas. Put bromine tablets in sea water and you kill algae but also get bromine gas. Both eat metal, but I guess on the plus side, the algae is dead. There was a thread on this subject a couple of years ago and the use of bromine tablets to clean a/c systems was staunchly defended, but your experience illustrates why it may not be a great idea. People do dumb things all the time and once they do them, frequently defend them, then recommend them to others, but chemistry is chemistry.
