New bioactive vivarium, found snails and slugs

We picked up this premade bioactive vivarium from a small reptile and amphibian store. We’re planning to put in golden poison frogs once they grow up, they’re tadpoles right now. It’s been like a week, we spray it once every day.

We found these tiny slugs and snails, and I know generally they’re considered pests, but I’ve also heard the frogs might be able to eat the snails at least? Should we get rid of them as soon as we can, or will they be fine with the frogs?

I’ve also seen all of these white specks all over, and am wondering if they’re just harmless mold or maybe eggs. There are springtails and stuff in there too, I’m not sure what their eggs are supposed to look like.

I’ve got a picture of the whole tank at the end incase the setup provides any useful information.
