Well, of course dechlor is almost always needed 
but doesn't do much of anything toward cycling a tank. I'm a Prime user for choice now that I live in a chloramine using water district. Sodium thiosuphate used to be fine in previous homes with just chlorine water treatment.

I was at an aquarium auction one time where someone (who I pray is not an active user) bagged a bunch of fish using half tank water, and half tap... No dechlor as they were not specifically told they should use it.
There was a lot of Carnage that morning...

Oh, man, how awful!! Just goes to show newbies need to be aware of possibly devastating issues if they don't pay attention...& often oldtimers too, sometimes we forget the basics because we haven't seen a problem... recently. The "rules" are there for some very good reasons!
I don't why Prime would not work with establishing beneficial bacteria, I've done it. Prime "locks up" ammonia but it is still available to establishing beneficial bacteria (nitrobacter & nitrosomas). & plants can also use it...
