Any aquarium water conditioners safe for loaches?

Starting an aquarium soon, and I'm interested in getting some kuhli loaches along with tetras, platies, etc. However, I know loaches are sensitive to any chemicals put in the tank, but I have to cycle the tank with treatments before I put anything in. Are there any cycling water conditioners that I can use that won't harm the loaches?

You can also get a bacteria start up treatment from good aquarium stores and I think it is called reverse osmosis water where they remove all the nasties but once again a good outlet should give you lots of advice on how to do it or like the man above suggested

You don't need water treatments. Just cycle the tank with water and gravel from an established tank, if you can, or just with a filter running, and throw fish food in it to start the nitrogen cycle when it rots.
