Reef Octopus ANC110 Automatic Neck Cleaner
The Reef Octopus ANC110 Automatic Neck Cleaner (ANC) is a performance-enhancing upgrade designed to keep your protein skimmer operating at its absolute peak. In any protein skimmer, organic waste quickly builds up on the internal neck wall, creating a "mud" layer that increases friction and prevents fine bubbles from reaching the collection cup. The ANC110 solves this by using an automated motorized lid that wipes the neck clean multiple times a day.
By keeping the skimmer neck clear of debris, the ANC110 ensures that foam can climb effortlessly into the cup, significantly increasing the volume of skimmate produced. This model is engineered specifically for Reef Octopus 110-series skimmers and features a high-torque, synchronous motor that rotates twin silicone blades. This automated maintenance tool is essential for hobbyists who want to minimize manual cleaning while ensuring their nutrient export remains consistent and efficient.
Key Features
• Automated Neck Wiping: Features a specialized motorized lid that removes organic buildup before it can impact performance.
• High-Torque Motor: Equipped with a reliable, low-speed motor designed to push through even thick organic waste.
• Twin Silicone Blades: Dual squeegee blades provide a thorough 360-degree clean of the internal skimmer neck.
• Enhanced Export: Maintains a high level of foam production by reducing the surface tension caused by waste buildup.
• OEM Fitment: Designed as a direct replacement lid for the Reef Octopus 110 skimmer line.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-quality acrylic and saltwater-safe components for long-term use.
Ideal For
• Owners of Reef Octopus 110-series skimmers looking to automate their maintenance.
• Hobbyists who travel or have busy schedules that prevent frequent skimmer cleaning.
• Advanced reefers who want to maximize the nutrient export of their current filtration system.
• Systems with high bio-loads where skimmer necks become coated in waste very quickly.
• Aquarists looking to achieve the most consistent "dry" skimmate possible.
