Started my cycling my tank on the 29th of June and started dosing Seachem prime & stablility this past Saturday and it got my ammonia to this I’d say between 0.50 - 0.25 ppm. Should I do a water change to hopefully bring it to 0 or should I continue to wait it out? Really wanted to get fish in here this week any feedback will be appreciated

It's better to let the tank fully cycle before doing a water change. When your tests show 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and some nitrate then you can do one if you want. Pro tip: the API ammonia test will almost always show some hint of ammonia.

I would just wait it out before doing a water change. I had similar readings to yours at a similar time frame and just decided to let my tank keep cycling, and now it is fully cycled and good to go
