I wouldn't worry about it if you are doing a fishless cycle. I mean you could do a water change if you really wanted to but if you don't have any fish in the tank I can't see it hurting anything.

THe chemicals in the test kits are nasty, that's why there's all those orange symbols in the small print. My worry would be that the chemicals might kill off your bacteria.

I would suggest continue monitoring your levels daily, if the results indicate that your bacteria colonies are still growing, then leave it. If you suddenly find that the ammonia is not being processed, then 100% water change, good clean out, and start again.
