AquaTop TQ-250W 250 W Thermo-Quartz Preset Aquarium Heater
Model: TQ-250W
AquaTop’s US-facing exact 250 W product page identifies SKU TQ-250W and lists 110–120 V / 60 Hz, freshwater/saltwater use and a fixed 78°F preset. The family card’s 250 W title repeats the TQ-200W suffix, so this reference preserves that discrepancy and uses the exact SKU for identity. It does not confirm any seller’s offered unit/package or compatibility with questionnaire choices; the 75–85-gallon text is package sizing copy, not an expressly defined 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 review retains the inspected 250 W package/heater photograph that helps distinguish TQ-250W; it is identification evidence, not scale or performance evidence.
The 250 W Thermo-Quartz entry is resolved as TQ-250W: the family card repeats “TQ-200W,” but AquaTop’s exact 250 W page and TQ manual identify the separate model. Its page ceiling is 85 US gallons and its package image shows a 75–85-gallon band; that lower edge cannot be enforced in this finder, so this review stays outside recommendations.

Documented model details
- The exact AquaTop product page identifies TQ-250W at 250 W, rated up to 85 US gallons, with a 110–120 V / 60 Hz supply and fixed 78°F preset.
- The exact package image shows 250 W and a 75–85-US-gallon band. The 75-gallon lower figure is preserved as package guidance; the manual does not define it as a minimum safe volume.
- The family card repeats “TQ-200W” beside its 250 W entry, while the exact 250 W page identifies TQ-250W and the TQ support page includes that model in the manual family. Treat the conflicting card suffix as a source discrepancy, not a merge with the separate 200 W heater.
Limits to weigh
- The package’s 75-gallon lower edge cannot be enforced by the current maximum-only aquarium-volume matcher. TQ-250W is reference-only and excluded from all active questionnaire and purchase matches; this does not mean it is discontinued or unavailable.
- The unit is documented at a fixed 78°F preset, with no user-adjustable span or numeric accuracy tolerance stated.
- The reviewed materials do not establish body dimensions, minimum waterline, material, shatterproof construction or an inline-filter mode. Automatic cutoff/out-of-water language is not an independent safety test and does not authorize dry operation.
Check before ordering
- Check that the actual unit, carton and offer identify TQ-250W / 250 W. Do not accept a listing title that only repeats “TQ-200W” without confirming the exact SKU.
- Compare the package with its 75–85-gallon marking and check whether that documented sizing context suits the actual setup; the exact page’s 85-gallon ceiling is not a performance guarantee.
- Check the supplied unit’s electrical label, fixed 78°F preset and current instructions. Keep the heater away from direct glass/gravel contact and verify aquarium water separately.
