how long have you had it?

So I'm thinking of getting the Hydor inline heater for my canister filter. does anybody have one or have experience with one? how is it working out for you or how did it work out for you? I have read a few reviews on amazon about them and it is a mix bag. i personally like it cause it is not in...
