great plant health but... missing a focal point in the tank - lots of everything, but eyes wander off looking something to "lock on".

I'm a terrible aquarist but a good photographer again, plants look healthy and sharp - just is "everything at once" and need something for people to focus and to be drawn upon

The tank was supposed to be a buce heaven with a foreground of monte carle, hairgrass and H.tripartita. Then I got a deal of plants and didnt know what to do with them. So this is what it turned to. Soon I plan to dismantle it, move all the stems in a grow tank and go back to making it a buce heaven.

dumb question : why the "siesta" period ?

To battle algae. Also I because I am not home during the lighting period due to work.
