The idea of shooting through a mirror would be better control of lighting coming out and falling on you.

Here's a thought - no experience. It may be possible to effect the bubbles by adding a very small amount of detergent to the water to act as a surfactant. Perhaps a tablespoon. It's an old swamp cooler startup trick to get the pads wetted faster, and I suspect it might shrink bubble size.

Thanks Craig I’ll pass that along to the tank owner.
