Default RO/DI Unit Installation problem

I'm trying to install a 5 stage RO/DI unit that I bought from EBAY....the
instructions cover a basic kitchen install but don't touch on fish room
applications. There are 3 lines out that I'm a bit confused as to where
they go.

One goes to the reservoir tank....
One is the RO line out...
One is the DI out...this is the one that has me confused. I have no
experience with a unit that incorporates a DI cartridge. I thought that
there would only be one line out for the water into the tank/sump. All of
the cartridges and fittings are connected so if the RO line out goes to the
sump, where do you run the DI line out?

Thanks in advance....I hate projects that I can't figure out using basic
common sense.

use the di output. cap the ro output, or use it for drinking water. what is
the reservoir tank output for? shouldn't that be the waste output line?

Three line:
Line in (assume white) waterfeed to your RO
Line Out (assume blue) result water from RO
Line Out (assume Black) to drainage or waste water.

The output line (blue) can either connect to a reservior or have a "T" +
valve to DI

Mine has 4 lines. Input, reservoir, waste and output. The reservoir
has it's own line and water from the reservoir flows through the post
filter before going to the faucet.

I wouldn't be surprised if yours had two output lines since DI water is
supposed to be nasty for drinking, but I would try to contact the
manufacturer. It might be intended to be connected like mine.
