Nope. Never had a drop of water in it. I ordered the tank from Reef Savvy in May of 2015. I got it at the end of October 2016 (there were delays in getting the tank built, some of them were my doing). Life got in the way a number of times and it is still unfinished. There is a build thread on it if you are a glutton for punishment - "Fin's Reef Savvy 125."

Since the tank landed here in 2016, my wife has had five - about to have her sixth - orthopedic surgeries. It was difficult finding time to work a busy job, take care of her and my 85 year old mother and her home. One of the main reasons I retired. I will get it finished. It has just been a lengthy struggle.

I am just excited to see @Katrina71 progress on her tank right now. Looking forward to watching her dream tank come together.

Savage!! I’m over here like “I feel so bad for messing with him, and then I read this ;Hilarious
Wishing for 0 TDS and low nutrients in your future
that’s one heck of a system!!
Well the purple tang, sailfin and the maroon is a no go for rehab. In the process of the family moving items and all of that, the tank got unplugged last night. There was an extension cord running behind a couch to the wall the tank was on and no one thought anything about it. The only survivors were the hermits and pulsing Xenia. Really sucks, but they had no idea. Tank temp was 63 when I got there this morning and house was 58.
On a brighter note. My shark arrived healthy at the lfs and is already eating. I fell bad keeping it in a 125 while it goes through QT, but I couldn’t imagine the cost of CP for a 300 gallon pool. I am gonna let the girl sit with rocks and everything for a week or so and then start the CP after I am sure she will be ok with no structure in there.

On another note. Trimming out the living room window before the tank goes in place, discovered old water damage. Pretty bad. Luckily not horrible to fix. Better now than later...
