Model reference
AquaTop Quartz Platinum QPH-50 50 W Aquarium Heater
Model: QPH-50 (50 W)
This technical reference uses AquaTop’s 2021 QPH family manual and 2022 Platinum cutsheet for the exact QPH-50 size. The model review also records an exact-item body label and carton image; those observations do not establish what a current US seller will supply or whether the model is currently offered.
This model lookup is separate from the questionnaire shortlist. It does not certify that this model meets your selected requirements.
Exact-model photograph is not verified. This reference lookup is text-only. The exact QPH-50 image and its model/package scope remain in the source-side review; no sibling or family image is substituted here.
AquaTop lists the QPH-50 as a 50 W, 9-inch heater for a 10–15 US gallon band; the model review’s exact-item carton image agrees at a 15-gallon maximum. That rating is not a room-specific heating guarantee, and the positive 10-gallon lower edge is one reason this is a reference lookup rather than a finder recommendation.

Documented model details
- The manual and cutsheet list the distinct QPH-50 at 50 W, 9 inches long and in a 10–15 US gallon band; the exact-item package image in the model review shows a 15-gallon carton maximum.
- AquaTop documents fully submerged in-tank use in fresh or salt water, with vertical or horizontal placement and a minimum water-level mark.
- The family cutsheet gives a 68–93°F adjustable setting range and a heating indicator; AquaTop describes the quartz body as shatter-resistant.
Limits to weigh
- The manual’s 10-gallon lower band is a manufacturer statement, not a universal minimum-safe volume. The finder’s maximum-only volume rule cannot enforce that lower edge, so QPH-50 is not a questionnaire match.
- The reviewed sources give no numeric thermostat-accuracy tolerance; an indicator light is not a measured aquarium-water display.
- “Shatter-resistant” does not establish a shatterproof body, impact rating or included protective guard. Current US availability and the exact seller package are not established.
Check before ordering
- Match the offered unit and carton to AquaTop QPH-50 / 50 W and UPC 810281019031; do not treat a similarly named QPH size as interchangeable.
- Check the actual unit label, supplied manual, waterline and available 9-inch placement clearance before installation; use a separate thermometer to verify aquarium water.
- Compare the aquarium and actual room conditions with AquaTop’s full 10–15 gallon band rather than treating 15 gallons as guaranteed heating capacity.
