Some of the "marine boys" batch dechlorinate their water.
Something like this (taken from my PLC project).
It can actually be a bit simpler.
Someone else did a continuous dechlorination (can't find link), where filtered water dripped into a water container via a needle valve. The container was attached to the edge of tank and overflowed into the tank. A drip or two of dechlorinator was pumped in every hour or so. As not much water flow is required you can run 4mm plastic piping, from where ever your incoming cold water is, to your tank.
Someone else added another chamber to their sump where filtered water was continuously added along with drips of Prime dechlrorinator. Excess water overflowed a weir in their tank.

- Fill water container with HMA filtered water.
- Use a peristaltic pump to dose the water with Seachem Prime. Dose sufficient Prime assuming chloramine is present.
- Leave 24hours.
- Heat the water if required.
- Pump water into your tank, excess tank water draining via overflow(s).
