Cutting a slot for an overflow in back of glass tank?

I just bought an awesome half-cylinder tank called the Marineland Half-Moon 30g. It is 27" long by 14" wide by 28" tall and made out of nice thick glass. I would like to cut a slot approximately 12" long by 1/4" tall to allow water to overflow into a glass sump-like compartment that I would build onto the back of the aquarium.

So what's the best way to go about cutting this slot? And how close to the top of the tank could I reasonably put it? (It's frameless on the top). I have a dremel tool, but would be willing to buy whatever I would need to do this, and have successfully cut several glass holes with diamond tipped bits in the past several years.
