Default Can left over bleach in Filter Sock cause Ammonia?

I just put a new filter sock that I had soaked in bleach and rinsed by hand several times. I couldn't smell bleach any more. This is the first time I used bleach and within a couple of hours of replacing the sock my corals and anenome closed up and are not looking happy. I just tested for ammonia and I now have 0.1. I have added carbon and an ammonia pad and am going to a water change as soon as possible. I did forget to turn my sump back on for a few hours a few days ago and the tank dropped a few degrees. Is it just a coincidence about the filter sock and I am having a mini cycle from the sump not running or can left over bleach cause ammonia in the tank?
