    my fish tank is showing high NO2 and NO3. i have a filter and bubbler +20%WC,

    your tank is not near cycled yet that is the problem it will tank about 6 weeks to cycle....start feed only once a day or every other day for the next few weeks to bring down the ammonia....then the nitrates show up and the ammonia drops to 0 then your tank is cycled...no more fish until then
