too early for crabs and snails ya think?

my rock has been in the tank only a week and a half,its probably too early but i have diatoms all over the place and i think hair algae is starting, it looks like hair about 1.5 inches high, i added my chaeto today to maybe help control that, i havent done any water changes during cure , i planned on doing one big one in at the end................these are my parameters

temp-83.1

ph-8.29

cal-420

alk-3.71

amm-.25

nitrate-50

nitrite-1

i dont think it would be a good idea to add crabs and snails with those numbers, at what point should i consider cycle done? what numbers should i look for?
