Moving a tank out of the cold?

So, I have, out in my backyard, in the freezing cold a 45 gallon older style Hagen tank.  Are there any percautions that should be taken when bringing it inside because of the temp. change?  Is there anything I should do to make sure the tank doesn't crack?  Will it be safe to see if it can hold water a few days after? Thoughts and opinions please.

Glass freezes all the time. I don't see an issue. Just be as careful as you normally would be when moving it. Should warm up to room temperature within an hour so filling it the same day should be no problem..

O.k, I had assumed so, I just wanted to be sure.  Now hopefully this damn tank can hold water.
