Is a Uniquarium better then a standard Glass aquarium?

[40B noob]

I've been doing alot of research... I have a 40 Breeder now that was given to me. And I keep seeing the Uniquariums pop up and Ive seen how people add filters inside the overflow in their Uniquariums and they add filters for using chaeto or use a Hob refugium. Sorry I'm new to this and would possibly like some inside info for the Uniquariums. Thank you

While uniquariums come in crazy shapes and dimensions, they are limited for scaping, swim advantage for fish and often tall. I would stick with standard sizes/types.
Then again would be unique- you will have to weigh and measure what your desires are.

Thank you and if I were to get a 40 gal would it actually be a 30 because of the built in overflow?
