Nice tank Gannet, congratulations.
I don't want to start yet another angry, argumentative post, but could I ask that you say "my" gf, not "the" gf? Its just a pet peeve of mine - she's not a thing, she's a person
I know its how people have always spoken, I remember people saying "meet the wife" thirty years ago. It annoyed me then and it annoys me now, even if the term isn't used intentionally as a put down.
Cheers
