I have an in-ground swimming pool. I have a 16x32 pool with a loop-lock cover. When cover is removed it looks like the black lagoon, Does anyone know what chemicals should be added before starting up the pool?

We have an inground pool with the salt water system and it is the best system ever. Very easy to maintain and simple. Just add pool salt at beginning of season and salt system converts salt to chlorine. Extremely cost effective. My pool supply store says there is not much that Shock and running your pump continually won't fix. You never add chlorine, just occasional cups of acid or base, depending on what your water test shows you need.

I just use plain ol' clorax in my pool and it stays clean all the time. Just get about 3 quarts and just poor it in the pool. Turn on your pump and let it circulate over night and the next day, your pool will be clean.
Do this method about twice a month.

You should first go to your pool supply company and tell them the size and type of pool. They will make recommendations according to how much water you have to treat. After getting it started you could then take a sample of water back in for analysis and get further recommendations.
The start up chemicals include chlorine and algecide for certain and then some types of pool clarifyer or scale remover.
