water change during cycle?

ok im clost to the end of my cycle ammonia is at 0 nitrItes are still at 2ppm and the nitrate is between 40 and 80ppm (the color is too dark for 40 and too light for 80) i use an API freshwater master test kit and also used Bio spira to cycle my tank. should i do a water change? I do have fish 2 tiger barb and 4 cory cats. Any suggestion that would help is greatly appreciated

Sounds like solid advice.
At this point, I wouldn't worry about slowing the cycle down at all. I would just worry about keeping the nitrite/nitrate levels down.
