Description / Reef Octopus Neck Cleaner
Get peak performance from your skimmer with the official Reef Octopus auto neck cleaner!
Reef Octopus motorized (ANC) Automated Neck Cleaner helps keep your octopus protein skimmer running at peak performance by periodically wiping the inside of the neck where all the bio-organics usually accumulate. This great skimmer accessory keeps your skimmer running at peak efficiency and saves the timely chore of keeping its neck clean. As you know, build-up in the neck causes the foam to stick to the sides and restricts the collection of skimmate within the skimmer's cup.
Keeping the neck wall clean results in consistent skimmer performance and little downtime. This device uses twin squeegees to remove the buildup from a skimmer neck automatically. The (ANC) Lid consists of a high torque low RPM motor, wiper mount, lid with mounting clamps, and squeegees. To operate this easily on your device, you plug the unit into a timer (not included) or aquarium controller and set it to run for a few minutes 4 to 6 times per day. By running it this way, you will never experience crud build-up along the walls of your skimmer neck. This will eliminate the daily chore of cleaning for two or more weeks while maintaining the level of skimmate production that you would typically get with only a freshly washed collection cup.
IMPORTANT: This item is NOT ozone-safe.

Customer Reviews
The neck clear is probably one of my favorite additions to my tank, it
prevents the buildup within the skimmer neck which in return keeps the skim flowing like butter!
I used a simple wifi outlet off Amazon to plug in the automatic neck cleaner I have it set to run twice a day for 1 minute which does the trick.
Made by reef octopus so expect nothing but the highest quality materials used, the most important part of the neck cleaner is the sealed accessible drive motor which will prevent this bad boy from rusting and preserve the life compared to any neck cleaners you might find on the market! RO best in the biz!
