Don't follow the CUC recommendations of LFS. Waaaaaay too high. I would only add 3-5 of a few kinds of snails for now (Nassarius, Cerith, Astrea, Turbos etc.) maybe 10-15 total.
Try a couple hermits (blue or red legged) just cause they are fun to watch (good at eating up detritus too), but not too many cause they do kill snails.

+1 on rock. Opinions may vary but 1 lb per gallon is a decent rule. Depending on how porus it is.
A reactor full of hydroton is good too as its very porus. I keep very low flow through mine and wrapped it in black paper to hopefully simulate a cryptic zone for sponge and squirts
