65g oceanic tempered?

Is a 65g oceanic (older tank) tempered on the sides? bottom? I don't think it is just because of the glass thickness, but I thought I'd ask before I ruin it. :)

I'm not familiar with that technique to determine if it is tempered. Do you have any other details or a link?

I'll check the thickness a bit later when I get home. I might just drill it on the back anyway to be safe.

DO NOT drill the bottom, it is tempered, all other panels are not...
