Reef Octopus CL200 Automatic Neck Cleaner
The Reef Octopus CL200 Automatic Neck Cleaner (ANC) is a high-performance upgrade designed to eliminate the most common cause of skimmer inefficiency: organic neck buildup. As waste is pulled from your aquarium, it coats the internal neck of the skimmer, creating a sticky layer that forces bubbles to pop prematurely. The CL200 solves this by automating the cleaning process, using a motorized lid to wipe the neck wall clean multiple times per day.
By maintaining a clear path for foam to climb, the CL200 ensures your skimmer operates at peak efficiency 24/7, resulting in a significantly higher volume of concentrated skimmate. This model is engineered for the 8-inch neck diameter found on the Reef Octopus Classic 200 series, Regal 200 series, and the robust SRO-3000 series. With its high-torque synchronous motor and durable silicone blades, the CL200 is an essential tool for any reef keeper looking to maximize their filtration while reducing manual maintenance.
Key Features
• Automated Efficiency: Motorized lid assembly removes waste before it can negatively impact foam production.
• Wide Compatibility: Designed for Classic 202-S, 200-INT/EXT, Regal 200-S/E/INT, and SRO-3000INT/EXT models.
• Twin Silicone Blades: Dual squeegees provide a thorough, streak-free clean of the internal skimmer neck.
• Improved Nutrient Export: Increases overall skimmate collection by keeping the foam path smooth and unobstructed.
• High-Torque Motor: Low-RPM synchronous motor provides silent, powerful rotation to push through thick organics.
• Professional Construction: Built with cell-cast acrylic and non-corrosive hardware for maximum durability in marine sumps.
Ideal For
• Owners of Reef Octopus 200 and SRO-3000 series skimmers looking to automate daily maintenance.
• High-bio-load reef tanks where the skimmer neck becomes heavily coated in waste within hours.
• Hobbyists who want to achieve the most consistent "dry" skimmate possible without daily scrubbing.
• Travelers and professionals who need their filtration to remain at peak performance during long absences.
• Systems where the skimmer is difficult to reach for frequent manual lid removal.
