I am wondering if it is Ok for the health of a snail to add it during the inital cycle. I have begun to see some glass and substrate algee and would love to get out ahead of it. Any thoughts?

No, wait until your ammo and nitrites are 0. Snails can tollerate more NH4 and NO2 than fish, but its not good for them, plus you don't know how high they'll go, the cycle could kill them.
