With Flash Copper you won't need cyanide at all. In fact, the new Flash Copper in many ways has better performance than the old cyanide copper. The hazard with triple chrome is the chromic acid fumes. These can be controlled with Caswell's kits and/or a fume hood.
I like Caswell's idea. Start small and learn as you go. Another option is to get a copy chrome kit and learn the fundamentals with it. That way you're not learning with chromic acid, which, while is managed well with Caswell's kit, still poses a disposal problem if you decide the whole thing is not for you.
The disposal problem will be manageable with the copy chrome kit. The copper, nickel and copy chrome tanks, if cared for reasonably, will last you a long, long time. I am still using the same tanks I set up 2 years ago with showroom quality results.
