you can but a reactor and feed pump, and the gfo. that's all you need.
i would suggest something like this-

and a maxijet 400 or so.

and the actual GFO-

Once i have those 3 things what will it do for me and how would i test and or maintain it?

I think saltwater critters has it for less and delivery is faster.

you think? if you actually take the time to look, the actual reactor is 4 or 5 dollars cheaper, but the pump is more and the media is almost double.

it will absorb phosphates. you would test the phosphate level in your water to see what it's doing for you.
as far as maintenance, i change out my media about once a month.

Thanks for the help i have an aquaclear30 that runs at about 175gph i could turn that down as the pump you recommended ran at about 100gph
