Reef Octopus CL8000EXT Automatic Neck Cleaner
The Reef Octopus CL8000EXT Automatic Neck Cleaner (ANC) is the ultimate maintenance tool designed specifically for the flagship SRO-8000EXT protein skimmer. In commercial-scale filtration systems of this size, the sheer volume of organic waste can coat the massive 16-inch internal neck in a matter of hours. This creates a thick, sticky barrier of "skimmer mud" that restricts bubble travel and reduces efficiency. The CL8000EXT eliminates this performance bottleneck by using a powerful motorized lid to mechanically wipe the neck wall clean multiple times per day.
By maintaining an unobstructed path for foam to climb, the CL8000EXT ensures your SRO-8000EXT operates at peak efficiency 24/7, resulting in a significantly higher volume of concentrated waste removal. This model is precision-engineered for the unique lid diameter and motor torque requirements of the 8000EXT series. Featuring a specialized industrial synchronous motor and reinforced silicone blades, the CL8000EXT is an essential upgrade for any system where manual maintenance of such a large skimmer is logistically difficult or inconsistent.
Key Features
• Industrial Automated Maintenance: Motorized lid assembly removes massive organic waste before it can degrade commercial skimmer performance.
• Direct SRO-8000EXT Fitment: Specifically designed to accommodate the 16-inch (400mm) neck diameter of the SRO-8000EXT.
• Reinforced Twin Squeegees: Industrial-strength dual blades provide a thorough, streak-free clean across the vast internal surface area.
• Max-Torque Synchronous Motor: Engineered to push through heavy resistance across a wide radius silently and reliably.
• Professional Grade Build: Crafted from heavy-duty, hand-polished acrylic and non-corrosive hardware for maximum service life.
• Unrivaled Nutrient Export: Keeps the foam path smooth for the most consistent waste removal possible in industrial environments.
Ideal For
• Owners of Reef Octopus SRO-8000EXT commercial protein skimmers.
• Public aquariums and massive commercial coral aquaculture facilities.
• Professional maintenance teams managing industrial reef displays.
• Systems where the skimmer is part of a large-scale life support system (LSS).
• Applications where maximizing the efficiency of every watt of pump power is a requirement.
