Hi there. Getting ready to finally start fishless cycling. But also ordering all my stuff for when there is finally fish in the tank

Here is my water:

PH 7.2
No Chlorine (its a well)
Hardness is 6 dgrees or 93PPM
Nitrate is 10ppm
Nitite, Iron, ect. all in check (either zero or at acceptable levels)

Ironically, I do have a low amount of arsenic in my water - but its below federal drinking water levels. I don't drink our water so I am not concerned about it - but unsure of what impact it would have on my fish.

Anyway, here is the question! Since i don't need any chlorine remover, do I really need anything else in my water? Stress coat? Anything? I am guessing "no" but wanted to make sure I heard the latest from current fish hobbyists. I have used Stress coat in past years but not sure I will need it in these water conditions. I will of course use water additives for plants, but this question is about fish.

Comments? Thoughts? THanks in advance for your help!
 
I would dose Prime. Arsenic is a heavy metal so Prime should detoxify it. I have well water and I don't add anything to it, all the stuff we test for is in the green and we also drink our tap water. Out of curiosity what all do you test for?
