I have a second hand Tropiquarium 88 and I think it's pretty good. It looks fine on its matching stand and the lid functions well - all the electrics are housed here so you only need one power point. The timer unit for the lights is also a good feature but take care to ensure this is functioning if buying second hand, replacement timer units are expensive.
I'm not a fan of the filter that comes with them (BioLife 55 in my case), they might work perfectly well but the running costs of replacement media is high so I replaced mine with a pair of Eheim Aquaballs.
The Biolife is reputedly good for planted set ups, my tank is set up with rockwork for a pair of neolamprologus brichardi and their fry.
btw - anyone interested in my old Biolife filter (with spare media and motor) can have it for £5 plus £2.50 postage (UK addresses only).
