Snails can be relatively hardy but with nitrates in the 30s, I wouldn't take any chances until that number drops. I'm not saying that you can't add snails but you risk losing some if not all of them.
Adding more rock is an option but keep in mind that it will most likely cause a little spike and another mini cycle if you add live rock. I would add dead base rock if you must have more rock. It's cheaper and you don't have to worry about any die off.
