Reef Octopus CL9000EXT Automatic Neck Cleaner
The Reef Octopus CL9000EXT Automatic Neck Cleaner (ANC) is the definitive maintenance solution designed for the industrial flagship SRO-9000EXT protein skimmer. In commercial filtration systems of this magnitude, the 20-inch internal neck can accumulate a massive layer of organic waste in a matter of hours. This "skimmer mud" creates a friction barrier that stalls foam production and forces bubbles to burst before they reach the collection cup. The CL9000EXT eliminates this bottleneck by using a high-torque motorized lid to mechanically wipe the neck wall clean multiple times per day.
By ensuring a pristine path for foam to climb, the CL9000EXT allows your SRO-9000EXT to operate at its absolute peak 24/7, resulting in a significantly higher volume of concentrated waste removal. This model is precision-engineered for the massive radius and specific motor requirements of the 9000EXT series. Featuring a specialized industrial synchronous motor and reinforced silicone blades, the CL9000EXT is an essential component for any large-scale life support system (LSS) where manual maintenance is logistically impractical.
Key Features
• Industrial Automated Maintenance: Motorized lid assembly removes massive organic waste before it can degrade commercial skimmer performance.
• Direct SRO-9000EXT Fitment: Specifically designed to accommodate the massive 20-inch (500mm) neck diameter of the SRO-9000EXT.
• 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-9000EXT 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.
