no, really you can call the manufacturer, but I would put money on it being tempered

Holy smoke, when I saw the title of this thread my first instict was to be a smartalek and say "drill the bottom, if it cracks it is temepred." Misti beat me to it.

IF it's an Oceanic, you can contact them and they will tell you.

Its probably tempered in the bottom and not in the back. Thats 99% of tanks.
