Octo CLXP8000 Neck Cleaner

Reef Octopus CLXP8000 Automatic Neck Cleaner

The Reef Octopus CLXP8000 Automatic Neck Cleaner (ANC) is a professional-grade maintenance tool designed specifically for the industrial-sized XP8000 series protein skimmers. In massive filtration systems like the XP8000, the sheer volume of organic waste can coat the internal neck in a matter of hours, creating a thick, sticky barrier that prevents bubbles from reaching the collection cup. The CL8000 eliminates this performance bottleneck by automating the cleaning process, 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 CL8000 ensures your commercial-scale skimmer operates at peak efficiency 24/7, resulting in a significantly higher volume of concentrated waste removal. This model is precision-engineered for a perfect fit on both the XP8000INT and XP8000EXT models. Featuring a specialized high-torque synchronous motor and reinforced silicone blades, the CLXP8000 is an essential upgrade for any large reef system where consistent nutrient export is critical and manual maintenance is logistically difficult.

Key Features

• Industrial Automated Maintenance: Motorized lid assembly removes thick organic waste before it can negatively impact commercial skimmer performance. • Direct XP8000 Fitment: Specifically designed to accommodate the large neck diameter of the XP8000INT and XP8000EXT models. 
• Reinforced Twin Squeegees: Industrial-strength dual blades provide a thorough, streak-free clean of the massive internal neck wall. 
• High-Torque Synchronous Motor: Designed to push through the increased resistance of large-diameter necks silently and reliably. 
• Enhanced Nutrient Export: Maintains a consistent bubble column for maximum waste removal in massive bio-load environments. 
• Professional Grade Build: Crafted from heavy-duty, hand-polished acrylic and non-corrosive hardware for long-term use.

Ideal For

• Owners of Reef Octopus XP8000INT and XP8000EXT protein skimmers. 
• Public aquariums and large-scale commercial reef displays with extremely high organic waste. 
• Professional maintenance companies seeking to achieve the most stable "dry" skimmate possible for their clients. 
• Systems where the protein skimmer is located in a hard-to-reach equipment room. 
• Aquarists who want to maximize the efficiency of every watt of pump power in a large-scale system.
