Reef Octopus CL150 Automatic Neck Cleaner
The Reef Octopus CL150 Automatic Neck Cleaner (ANC) is a specialized maintenance upgrade designed to keep your high-performance protein skimmer running at its maximum potential. In any skimmer, a layer of thick organic waste quickly coats the internal neck, creating surface tension that prevents fine bubbles from efficiently reaching the collection cup. The CL150 eliminates this performance barrier by using a motorized lid to mechanically wipe the neck wall clean multiple times throughout the day.
By maintaining a pristine skimmer neck, the CL150 allows for a more consistent foam head and a significant increase in the volume of dry skimmate produced. This model is engineered specifically for the 6-inch neck diameter found on several popular Reef Octopus models, including the Classic 150, Regal 150, and SRO-2000INT series. Utilizing a high-torque, synchronous motor and dual silicone blades, this automated tool is essential for hobbyists looking to achieve professional-level nutrient export with minimal manual intervention.
Key Features
• Automated Maintenance: Features a motorized lid assembly that wipes organic waste before it can degrade skimmer performance.
• Broad Compatibility: Fits Classic 150-S, 152-S, 150-INT/EXT, Regal 150-S/INT, and SRO-2000INT models.
• Twin Silicone Squeegees: Dual blades ensure thorough removal of "skimmer mud" for an unobstructed foam path.
• Enhanced Waste Export: Maintains consistent bubble climbing and increases overall skimmate collection volume.
• Safe Motorized Operation: High-torque, low-RPM motor provides the necessary power to push through heavy buildup silently.
• Saltwater Safe Build: Constructed from high-quality acrylic and non-corrosive materials for longevity in damp sump environments.
Ideal For
• Owners of Reef Octopus 150 and SRO-2000INT skimmers who want to automate their daily maintenance.
• Hobbyists with heavily stocked reef tanks where skimmer necks become coated in waste very quickly.
• Travelers or busy professionals who cannot perform the frequent manual cleaning required for peak efficiency.
• Advanced reef keepers looking to maintain the most stable and consistent nutrient export possible.
• Systems where maximizing the performance of existing filtration equipment is a primary goal.
