This is SOOOO not true.
You can do fine without CO2 and added nutrients but you have to keep your wpg at or below 1 (general rule, no VHO/HO lamps). These "low" tech tanks do not require much time or money at all but they require low light plants and growth rates will be slow.
Anubias are low light plants not high, and grow slow. If put in high light, they are more likely to grow green spot algae. This, ferns and crypts would do just fine in a low tech tank and would not require much work at all.
