    I have a Drinking water R/O system under my kitchen sink. It is a three stage, but that is all I know about it.

    Question #1 What 2 filter inserts should I put in there to make it remove as much things for a reef set up?

    Question #2 Can I buy those at home depot, or do I have to go to my LFS?

    Question #3 Does anyone have an idea how to set it up for an auto top off, that does not look bad?

    I have a similar system (Gordon Bros. two filter RO.) I use it as is for my top off reef water supply. I have a softener ahead of it and I simply use that household water for large amounts. Have not yet had any problems (fingers crossed.) I simply add a gallon when the tank needs it, but you can always buy an ice maker kit (hose, connectors, etc.) to extend it to your tank.
    Good luck
