What about chloramine though? Does it dissipate at the same rate as
chlorine or does it take longer?


I've started a thread on this subject a long time ago; IIRC chloramine
will not dissipate in say.. a bucket; but inside a mature aquarium the
nitrifying bacteria will be able to grab the ammonia from the
chloramine; the chlorine that remains will dissipate as usual;

PS: chloramine = chlorine + ammonia
