How wide of an opening is needed on the tank lid for the 100 filter to sit?

You need a 5 & 3/4" opening for the 100 unit. We have the 350 unit and it requires a 14 & 7/8" opening in the tank lid. I'm going off the spec's for your size that are indicated on the website.

I have a 46 gallon aquarium. The front is bowed out and the open area is in the middle of the top. My filter takes up about 2/3 of the space behind my aquarium and sticks out about 2 inches.

These filters are tapered down to the edges. Since gravel is going on top, they don't have to have a perfect seal. If you needed to, you could trim the edges to make it fit. If it's a class tank, trim off enough to clear the silicone around the bottom edges.

Yes. It may take up some space but it will fit. It is good to use a filter bigger than your tank size (ex: 15 gallon filter for a 10 gallon tank) if you have some thing in the tank that produces waste such as a turtle or fish.

My tank is 12x24" & the top fits perfectly. I guess it depends on your filter. There are cord cutouts at each corner.

No this is for an itty bitty tank, maybe 1 gallon, and itty bitty filter. :)

The opening for filters is 15 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches deep. I have 2 hang on the back filters on it and they fit together side by side with adequate room.

The measurements for this lid are included in the description. Measure your tank and compare that to the measurements given for this item. If they are the same, it will fit.

Depends on the bowl. By that I mean, this is DESIGNED to sit in the edge, but it likely doesn't fit every bowl.I have this one: Tetra 29095 Cube Aquarium Kit, 3-GallonThis filter is about three inches wide and can sit on an edge as thick as a quarter of an inch, give or take a few 8ths. As long as your tank/bowl has a flat side running 3+ inches and is no thicker than a pencil, it should fit.

Mine is a standard tank opening for a passenger car, a 2001 Toyota Corolla. I'm afraid I don't know the dimensions.

There is no problem in using a filter bigger than what you need. Every model has a limit, as long the model is for a bigger tank than you have is OK.

The interior dimention between each side of the supply an return U adaptors that sit on the top of your tank is approximately 2.25".... However, I am sure you could simple modify with a hacksaw to cut those plastic parts, easily using pieces of the hose in it's place...

The diameter of the opening in the center of the filter is 1 inch. The total filter diameter is 2 5/8 inches.

The Aqueon Quietflow filter extends about 2 inches into the tank and is about 8 inches long. Put the hood on the tank and check the measurements for the filter opening again.

The part of the filter that hangs outside of the aquarium is apx. 3" to 4" thick. You may want to give yourself a few more inches for the space.

6.5" is the overall depth of the body of the filter. You'll need 3" minimum, preferably 4+ inches clearance from top of aquarium glass/frame to whatever goes above, in order to facilitate removing all for cleaning or just removing the filter without having to dismantle it completely. Hope it helps.
