Well, I thought the biospira would take care of the water

But, you're right, next time, we wait for the cycle to
complete


it may introduce nitrifying bacteria which may help cycle the tank a bit
quicker however many doubt these claims. Many of us had the same problem
when we got started and this usually leads to a lot of research which should
be done before not after however like I say many have done the same thing.
Water changes only delay the final cycling process. Start with a couple of
fish or do a fishless cycle with ammonia and don't get discouraged.
