Need help with setting up a phosphate reactor, all my cheato has white dust all over it?

[Leon Gorani]

So I've been thinking of buying a phosphate reactor because my phosphates keep rising and I can't keep them down. I do not overfeed much but I have a few too many fish maybe, which might be the problem, 6 fish in a 30 gallon tank, but I don't have a full 30 gallons of water. I was thinking of buying the Two Little Fishies PhosBan Reactor 150, https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/phosban-reactor-150.html
do you think this is too large for my tank? I plan on hanging it off the back of my hang on the back refugium. But does this thing come with everything I need or do I have to buy my own pump and hoses to run this? Will this work to reduce phosphates?
My nitrates are also supper high, what's the best way to reduce those? Thanks.
