Ph = between 7.8 - 8.0ppm
Nitrate = 15ppm
Nitrite = 2.0ppm
Ammonia = 2.0ppm
Are these decent conditions for a full cycle?

It looks to me that your well on your way
once your Ammonia and Nitrites = 0 your cycle will be finished. As for you PH when the cycle if finished it should stabilze at around 8.2 ~ 8.3 . The cycle itself causes the PH to drop a little.
How are you cycling ? Cocktail shrimp or live fish?
