Reef Octopus CL300 Automatic Neck Cleaner
The Reef Octopus CL300 Automatic Neck Cleaner (ANC) is a professional-grade maintenance solution designed for the largest 12-inch neck diameters found in high-capacity protein skimmers. In massive reef systems, the sheer volume of organic waste can coat a skimmer neck in hours, creating a sticky barrier that prevents bubbles from reaching the collection cup. The CL300 eliminates this performance drop by automating the cleaning process, using a powerful motorized lid to mechanically wipe the neck wall clean on a set schedule.
By maintaining an unobstructed path for foam to climb, the CL300 ensures your large-scale skimmer operates at peak efficiency 24/7, resulting in a significantly higher volume of concentrated waste removal. This model is engineered to fit the elite range of Reef Octopus skimmers, including the SRO-6000, Regal 300, and the industrial-sized CAT3 and XS350 series. Featuring a specialized high-torque synchronous motor and heavy-duty silicone blades, the CL300 is an essential upgrade for any large reef system where manual maintenance is difficult or inconsistent.
Key Features
• Automated Efficiency: Motorized lid assembly removes thick organic waste before it can negatively impact skimmer performance.
• Universal 12-Inch Fitment: Compatible with SRO6000EXT/SSS, TDNW300, CAT3, XS350, DCS 300, DCSR 300EXT, and Regal 300 (INT/SSS/EXT).
• Industrial Strength Squeegees: Extra-wide twin silicone blades provide a thorough, streak-free clean of the massive internal neck wall.
• Enhanced Nutrient Export: Maintains a consistent bubble column for maximum waste removal in high-bio-load environments.
• High-Torque Synchronous Motor: Designed to push through the increased resistance of large-diameter necks silently and reliably.
• Durable Acrylic Construction: Built from high-quality, hand-polished acrylic and non-corrosive hardware for long-term use.
Ideal For
• Owners of high-capacity Reef Octopus 300 and 6000 series skimmers.
• Large-scale reef tanks and public aquarium displays with extremely high organic waste.
• Hobbyists seeking to achieve the most stable "dry" skimmate possible without daily manual labor.
• Commercial filtration setups where the skimmer is difficult to reach for frequent manual cleaning.
• Systems where maximizing the efficiency of every watt of pump power is a primary goal.
