I'd worry more about your fish... 10 cardinals is a lot of a 1-footer, even with filter, they are heavy feeders (which means lots of poo) and active swimmers (so the lack of space will cramp them) ... have you considered getting smaller fishes like boraras, pgymy gouramis... ? With java moss, I would do away with the fert altogether.... and if you switch to smaller fishes, you can junk the filter too. Also read the article somewhere in the articles section on low maintenance small tanks.
