Octopus Diablo Neck Cleaner?

[snakeblitz33]

Is there an automatic neck cleaner made for an Octopus Diablo XS160? I can look at the list and find it, but I don't see a mention of any of the automatic neck cleaners that are made for an octopus diablo - or even the XS series.
Also, does anyone know if a Diablo XS160 have a skimmate drain? I am trying to figure out what all kinds of options it comes with so that I can make a good decision for my 110g.

Seth check with ReefSpeciality or there's a place I think it's Avastmarine.com.....They can custom build what you want.

I have seen Avastmarine... I don't know about em', to be honest. I'm just kind of shopping around and seeing what my best deals are. I have seen some pretty successful SPS dominated reef tanks over the last year or so that do not have refugiums... and I was maybe going to try a different direction for a little while. I dunno though.
My chaetomorpha in my fuge has decided to just... play out. heh. I have dosed a little iron to get it back going again. I know I have plenty of nutrients for it to use, it's just... not working like it should, I guess. If anything, I will go back to using an algae scrubber on the next tank.
Right now I'm having some bad high temp issues with my 20g. I knew there was a problem and I finally am able to put a finger on it. I set up the controller and I am monitoring my tank now. Trying to figure the controller out - how to use it an everything right now, so that when I do set up my bigger tank, it won't be so difficult.

The controller is a learning curve.....I'll have to see if I can find my contact over on the other forum, but he should be able to help you out with any questions and programming if needed....I'm pretty sure his name is Russ. Avast from what I hear does very nice work.

Thanks!!
I have been reading over on the Profilux forums and they so far have been a very big help.
I'll have to check out Avast again. I believe some of it right now though is out of my price range. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

Just food for thought!!!!!!

I've also looked at Avast Marine. They seem like they have some pretty good stuff and good customer service.
If you can't find an octopus neck cleaner for the diablo, you might want to look at other octopus skimmers that are just as good that definitely do come with a neck cleaner. That is, if you have more space for it or if you are looking for a compact design for your sump.
