Greg's tank was moved in 5 peices and reassembled. I believe Peter was using the bottom for the rear overflow and cutting a similar slot as the op; the bottom was tempered! Panels were moved and another new one ordered, but the cut was performed the same way. Peter is a high end trim carpenter and very good with tools.
This is cool - was this around Rochester somewhere?

With the right blade, water cooling, and a straight guide, cutting thick glass is simple. That being said, I would do some practice first.
