Do you need to use treatments when setting up or water changing your fish tank?

A comment on a recent video spurred me to chat about using dechlorinator and bacteria boosters in your aquarium. It was a comment that we had fairly frequently in the fish shop, do I really need to use this liquid stuff?

Let me know in the comments do you use more liquids than me or less?
