WOW that's beautiful!! You have to have been doing this quite a while!

What's the plant weeping over the log in the middle? What are the reds in the back from left to right?

Thank you.
I am in the hobby for 20 years now.
This tank is relatively new, setup in Dec. 2007.
The weeping plant is Hemianthus callitrichoides and it is actually tied to a quartz rock.
The reds from left to right (I'll try my best ):
Rotala sp. Vietnam
Rotala Macrandra (front low)
Limnophila Aromatica
Rotala Macrandra green
Cabomba Furcata

For the cardinal tetras, there are probably around 200 of them.

The specs of my Tank:
Rena 1.5 meter - 450 liter
light 1.25 WPL (T5)
Teco TR-15 Chiller
CO2 + PH controller + 2 outside reactors
2 X Eheim pro 3 2028
36W UV
Automatic water change (100% RO) 100% a week.
Under substrate Heating cable - Rena 15m 100W
Substrate - 1st layer Pumice 2cm, 2nd layer Pumice+peat+humus 3cm, 3rd layer JBL Aquabasis 2cm, 4th layer crushed quartz 5cm.
Water Param.: PH 5.9, KH 1.5, CO2 40ppm, NO3 15, PO4 1.5, TDS 275ms, GH 2, Temp 25.5c
Automatic DIY fertilization with peristaltic pumps - KNO3, KH2PO4, KCL, MgSO4, Iron gluconate, Iron EDTA, CSM+B, Flourish Excel (PPS Pro alike).

Did I forgot something???

For the discus, as a former discus breeder, I know thay will do better in warmer and darker waters. Somehow they adopt to this harsh environment and actually leying eggs all around.
