this is not exactly true, while there are tanks that use all this, with plant selection you can have a low tech tank that looks just as good as any high tech tank, or you can go with a hybrid, which is somewhere inbetween low and high tech. all you have to do is buy acording to what you are willing to do.

here is a very good board where you can read up on different setups and a good place to ask questions
