P.S. Would all of the fish and plants I prefer be ok for a 6.3-6.5 pH?

I agree with Eye- more Cardinals would be better- these fish actually love to be packed together like sardines, and actually aren't that much bioload. 5 is too few, IMO. And no, they won't school with the Rummies- the Rummies will be much, much more active.
All those fish should love your low pH!!
Adding a sponge prefilter will help add some to your filtration, but since you're already really low on filtration (tank turnover only 2x/hour) I also agree that you should probably look for an at least 100gph filter.
