If it's an old tank in general and showing signs of wear and tear and a new tank is available in your budget I would buy a new one. 55 gallons is more than enough to make a huge mess of your place.

You're good it's not tempered. I figured it would be three foot because you're right the 4 foot is 55 but sometimes they are still refered to as 50's.
