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
