GFO is the best bet once you are in the tank but at this point like some others have said I wouldn't think too much about it if the tank was started recently. I would worry about keeping the tank stable and get into a regular maintenance routine. After that I would start investigating phosphates and dealing with them as you see fit. Sometimes it can take a long time to get them in check.

I got the wrong one, I ordered the 713.
The readings were .85ppm which is actually higher than I thought they were based off of the Api test kit.
Nitrates were at 0, ALK is at 12.5 ppm
My next thought was water changes but as you pointed out they might not help. So from here it seems the consensus is GFO. Anyone have a reactor they recommend so I don't buy junk?
