Sick!
I'm sorry I missed out on the build. I hope you won't be a stranger to the board.

Lap, Jason and Jay,
Thanks guys
Hey Mike! Long time no see dude! Yeah, I'll be around
Not like I was at one time, but after I'm gone, I'll pop in from time to time
Terry!!! Whats up dood?
Yeah, the decision was made. This tank is no more. The only things that are left are my skimmer and Ca Rx I've been job hunting for a teaching position in Tokyo. I have a couple of interviews lined up. I'll be down in the city in Nov for one of them.
I probably won't build one in Japan due to several circumstances. The possibility of my stay being only a year is the most concerning; However, I also would like to experience life without a tank for a while. We will travel a lot if possible. I would like to see China, Korea and Thailand while I'm there and as we all know, traveling and sps tanks don't often go together. The other reasons involve space and cost. Its just not really in the cards.
I'll be back though. When? Not sure yet. But when I do come back and buy a home, I'm going to build a new system
I just want to thank EVERYONE who has helped me along the way! Mark P, Tim P, Jeremy A, Victor N, you guys were an inspiration to me. You opened up your homes and tanks and over the past few months I'm proud to say that I have gained some great new friends. Thank you!!!! I hope one day I have a beautiful tank that I can cut corals out of and share the same generosity as you have shown!
Davey B, Rafael M, thanks for all your help setting the tank up and breaking it down! I couldn't have done it w/out your help! You guys have been great friends and I hope to see you guys soon. Davey, good luck in Colorado!!!
To everyone else: Thank you for helping me make my dream come true (even if it was short lived )
I'm looking at leaving sometime this winter, but if finding a job proves to take a little longer, then it may be March or April. We'll see
Cheers everyone, and thanks again
Jim

I don't understand something. Why does your fiance want you to live in Japan for a couple of years? Why is it that if you don't go your relationship will end?
Everyone is saying you should go but if I were you I wouldn't go for fear of losing someone. If they loved me they wouldn't expect me to do something so drastic. I just would not move across the world because my fiance wanted me to. I would only do it if I wanted to.
The fact that you said your six year relationship may end if you don't go says that maybe it's just not that strong to begin with.
Sorry to pry but I have been married for ten years and I still wouldn't move to another country because he wanted to and I wouldn't ask him to do something drastic that he didn't want to.
