Model reference
AquaTop TQ-100W 100 W Thermo-Quartz Preset Aquarium Heater
Model: TQ-100W
The US-facing exact-model page identifies TQ-100W, 100 W, 110–120 V / 60 Hz, freshwater/saltwater use and a fixed 78°F preset. This is an evidence-based model lookup, not confirmation of a particular seller offer, package, or fit to your aquarium; the 15–30-gallon band is package copy, not a separately stated safe-minimum rule.
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 because its original exact image is mapped beneath the existing products/images directory, outside the adapter’s supported basename path. The detailed model review retains the individually inspected 100 W heater/package photograph; it is for identity and printed carton copy, not scale or performance.
AquaTop identifies the TQ-100W as a 100 W preset heater rated up to 30 US gallons. The exact model image shows a 15–30-gallon package band and 78°F preset; the lower package edge is not explained as a safe minimum, and this finder cannot enforce it, so this model remains a reference rather than a questionnaire recommendation.

Documented model details
- AquaTop’s exact page identifies SKU TQ-100W, 100 W, an upper rating of 30 US gallons and 110–120 V / 60 Hz supply.
- The exact-package image associated with the model review shows a 15–30-US-gallon band and a fixed 78°F preset. Its lower edge is not defined by the reviewed manual as a minimum safe aquarium size.
- The TQ instructions specify suction-cup placement away from glass or gravel, a drip loop/GFCI-protected supply and checking the preset with a separate thermometer at the opposite end of the aquarium.
Limits to weigh
- The model is kept reference-only because the current volume matcher can enforce the 30-gallon ceiling but not this model’s package-specific 15-gallon lower band. It is excluded from all active questionnaire and purchase matches; that is not a lifecycle or availability finding.
- The 78°F setting is fixed; no adjustable temperature range or numeric thermostat-accuracy tolerance is stated.
- The reviewed page and manual do not establish body dimensions, minimum waterline, heater-body material, shatterproof construction or an external-filter arrangement. Cutoff statements are manufacturer claims, not fault or dry-operation test results.
Check before ordering
- Confirm that the unit and offer identify TQ-100W / 100 W, not a higher-wattage TQ sibling, and compare the actual carton with the reviewed 15–30-gallon package marking.
- Check the supplied unit’s own voltage/frequency label and current instructions against the outlet; do not treat a page specification as verification of the exact seller package.
- Check that the fixed 78°F preset is appropriate for the livestock plan. Follow the TQ placement/drip-loop guidance and verify aquarium water separately with a thermometer.
