Have you looked at the the Fluval range. They also come with everything you need and IMHO are a better deal than the Tropiquaium range. I managed to buy an ex-display Fluval Duo 1000 Deep tank that had only been set-up that day with the stand for £200 from my local Pets at Home. Would never buy livestock from them but their prices on hardware are usually the best. We also managed to get a Fluval 204 external filter for £49.99 which was the cheapest we found anywhere.
The other nice thing about the Fluval tanks is that they are pre built for an easy conversion to external filtration which I thoroughly recommend.
Whats your budget???

A quick search reveals the Tropiquarium 88 can be had for £254.95.
For that sort of money you could have a Fluval Duo 1000 Deep for £249.95 or a 1200 Deep for £289.95.

The Fluvals come with internal filtration but only supports foam and carbon media. They also come with a selection of plastic plants, a heater, tap water conditioner, tank cycle (bacteria in a bottle) and plant food (strange when the pack includes plastic plants).
I thoroughly recommend the Fluval tanks and IMO are built better and are more user freindly than the Tropiquariums.
