Thoughts/concerns about Hydor inlines

[akskirmish]

Thinking about useing a 350 watt Hydor inline heater----Never had experience with these before...

Are they worth useing---

How good are they at holding temps....

N e problems with these....

Or are they just plain garbage....

Let me know please...Thanks

In line heaters can be touchy. It's all about the correct contact time. I'd run one with a by pass and a valve at each end to control flow to it.

Never had a problem with mine. Good heaters if you ask me.

What if it's ran on an xp2-
Xp3 would be too much flow wouldn't it---

I also have a magnum 350 I could hook it too-

Would you still suggest a valve for flow...

I didn't have this same one but I paid 40 bucks for a Hydor heater...It malfunctioned and wouldn't shut off. I only had it for a month. Luckily I had a rena smart heater in there as well because it alerted me that the water was hotter then it should be. I will never buy that brand again.

Appreciate the feedback....
