The Vertex Vectra Engine Universal Cleaner Unit is the component of the Vectra system that includes the motor, shaft, and squeegee. The Engine can be used when modifying an existing skimmer lid, or as a replacement for a current Vectra Cleaning system.

  • Adapts to most brands skimmer cup lids
  • Includes squeegee
  • Does not include Skimmer Cup or Lid
  • Compatible with all aquarium controllers and basic timers

 

Protein Skimmers will perform better when the neck is clean. Neck Cleaners are gaining more and more popularity as reefers use them and notice their effectiveness (not to mention removing a disgusting chore). The Vertex Engine can be added to most skimmer cups by creating a couple small holes to allow the shaft and screws through the lid. The neck cleaner motor can be mounted on virtually any skimmer cup lid and will only require 4" of needed clearance and with some smaller skimmers, the squeegee may need to be modified to fit within the neck of the skimmer.

 

Controlling the Vectra Engine is super easy by plugging in the power supply to a basic On/Off timer or any aquarium controller. We suggest activating the engine for a couple minutes at a time, up to 4 times a day.

 

Note: Skimmer Cup Lid required for use (not included)

Product Questions

I am using this cleaner unit for three years and it was working fine.

Great question! We do not carry the replacement parts for these units, but I would recommend reaching out to Vertex about that. Here is their contact information! :-)

Great question! Currently they do not carry this product for the 130mm lid.

What size lid do I need for the vertex auto neck cleaner if I have a alpha 170? I already owner the neck cleaner for my alpha 200. But want to purchase just the lid so it can be used on my 170. Thank you.

So my question is do we just mount this in place of our collection cup lid or does this have to be mounted on a lid to be installed. Are there any videos? I have a Vertex Omega 150 and want to use this system.
Question by: Shawn Borchers on Apr 11, 2016, 7:25 PM
Great question!
This will come in two options, one without a lid and one with a lid. If you order the vectra engine with lid it will come with a replacement lid with the hole already drilled and you can place it directly onto your skimmer. There may be videos out there however we have not produced product videos directly. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
