Help!!! Snails in my cycling tank?

hi guys fairly new to fish keeping after a long time away from the game. I'm currently 7 days into my fish less cycle and I awoke to see around 20 tiny white snails (maybe more) on my tank glass. After researching on the Internet I think I've been infected with MTS....whoopty bloody doo....so after the intensive research from the web it seems these little things are near impossible to irradicate but surely someone out there must be able to help. There's no source of food in there so how are they alive???

My main concern is are they going to affect my two fx5s propellers? I opened the filters and saw quite a few small ones in there so are they going to churn it up?
I'm planning the 150gal as a grow out tank for the mighty p.bass so all the info I've read about getting rid of them is by adding loaches to my tank!? These aren't going to help, well apart from keeping my mini monsters well fed.

So any help to 1 get rid of would be great and 2 any info if they are going to be a problem for my filters and solutions to prevent a broken propeller

I thought my first thread would be more exciting then this!

But the bass will surely eat the loaches before they hit the bottom?? Haha the ammonia is through the roof atm as are nitrites so any poor fish that goes in that mix are going to live a rubbish short life and no doubt be food to the bloody snails ����
