Tank looks good, I especially like the back wall and the bubbles coming out of the submarine.

Now all you need is some fish to keep your snails company once your tank is cycled.

Don't worry about snails. Most of them don't eat live plants.
Snails usually arrive with plants. The most common ones are ramshorns (small ones that grow a couple of mm) and pond snails. These will both eat dead plants and left over food (once you have fish) and algae but don't usually touch live plants. If they crawl over a plant looking like they are eating it, they are usually eating algae or biofilm off the surface of the leaf.

We once had a member who had a nerite snail stow away on a plant. If those are what you have, welcome them with open arms. They are just about the best algae eater ever.
