Merrill, it is because we want to have more than plants, we want to
have fish too.  And some of the fish are pretty demanding.   I would
bet you cannot spawn discus in your water, you would have
difficulties keeping them alive (altho they are pretty robust fish). 
Same for neons and a bunch of others.  Sure, if you want east
African cichlids your water may be ideal, then you could just throw
in the cichlids and the plants.  Trouble is, many of those cichlids
are avid plant eaters.   So it is not quite as simple as you make it
out.
