Reef Octopus CL250 Automatic Neck Cleaner
The Reef Octopus CL250 Automatic Neck Cleaner (ANC) is a heavy-duty maintenance upgrade designed for large-scale protein skimmers with 10-inch neck diameters. In high-capacity filtration systems, a thick layer of organic waste quickly coats the internal neck, creating surface tension that causes bubbles to burst prematurely. The CL250 eliminates this performance bottleneck by automating the cleaning process, using a motorized lid to mechanically wipe the neck wall clean multiple times per day.
By maintaining a pristine skimmer neck, the CL250 ensures your filtration operates at its absolute peak 24/7, resulting in a significantly higher volume of concentrated skimmate. This versatile model is engineered to fit an extensive range of professional Reef Octopus skimmers, including the SRO-5000, XP-5000, Regal 250, and the Hurricone Cat 2 series. Utilizing a high-torque synchronous motor and durable twin silicone blades, the CL250 is an essential tool for any advanced reef keeper looking to maximize nutrient export while reducing manual maintenance.
