no chemicals... just make sure you cycle your water first. water parameters are good.
 
i keep an rtg too
agree with above
no chemicals other than prime to dechlorinate
temp 26-28deg C
ph anywhere from 6.5-7.5 (stable is more important than absolute value)
make sure your tank is cycled with no ammonia or nitrite (be patient with this)
good tight lid to cover your tank to prevent rtg from jumping out
need good biological filtration as rtg produce a lot of waste as it gets bigger

regular water change and then enjoy your rtg growing!
