It's good to have options 
5 years ago when I started my 360 the first time, I thought the same, and I dumped in 12 Corys, mostly to cycle the tank and I just wanted to see a pack of them cruising around. At the time that 360 was the largest home aquarium I ever seen lol so I was jazzed. Now I have about 50 Corys, babies show up all the time in the canister filters and the sump LOL I give them away to my friends.
Hindsight I should of went with Cichla.........

hindsight is always 20/20
on a good note ive been crunching some numbers
for meto buy prime by the 4 liter it costs me 69$. it would treat 40,000 gallons. the cost to dechlorinate one gallon of water is $0.001725
for me to buy a chlorine filter costs 11$ plus 12dollars for housing. but the housings reuseabe.
One filter costs 11$ and treats 20,000gallons. the cost to dechlorinate one gallon of water is $.00055. I would also like to note i wouldnt have to mess with the prime everytime i want to do water change or topoff.
The chlorne filter can filter chlorine out at 1 Gpm kinda slow for my taste. but hey less work for me.
