Yes, you may add the clean up crew now. In fact, the sooner the better after cycling. They will have a field day clearing up any diatom blooms and cyano. If you feel that they won't have any food, add something for them to chow on, hermits will eat just about anything, and there is always something for your snails to attend to.

Yep, once the lights are on, the algae will start. You might want to do a little supplemental feeding at first.
