just from my own experience, if you stock and feed lightly and fill the tank with lots of plants, you don't need a filter/fan/whatnot at all, just a single light (i use the clip-on 11W PL holder sold at some LFS). I just do a 1/3 water change every 2 weeks (with a couple of drops of LushGrow Aqua) for my 20 cm shrimp and boraras maculata tank at home, and it's the most troublefree of all my setups.
