So I have had my WWC Bounce Mushroom for about a year started off about 1/2" size it has grown but the bubbles aren't huge like some of the ones I see online. So how do you make your bubbles big and what par do you keep them under to make them big.

I rather think it s the stability and trace element in your water. My bounce is no more than 1.5 inches diameter , but look at the big bubbles.
How long or how old is that. I had this one for about a year and a half but I know it will never make bubble like that it's a wwc sunkist it's about 3 inch if not bigger but its splitting has two mouths. That's the OG bounce looking good.

My bounce shrooms got bigger in size and bubbles in lower flow and higher nutrients. Mid to low lighting.

I've also read it also depends on the mother they were cut from but not sure how true that is. Some cuts just end up with more bubbles Id say.

My original frag was purchased less than 1 yr and it got split after 4months. The one in the pic I posted was the split, so it s about ~ 6months max. As for par, I do not know, but it s on the sand bed with low flow as you can see. My 2 Radion are about 10 inches above water surface. Tank is 24inches in height. Nutrition is high.

Here's a pic of mine. Flow in my tank is low, run one mp10 @50% max. Don't know what my parameters are at, hardly ever check them unless something looks off. I do a 10g water change every 2 weeks for the 40g. I will note that I noticed a significant increase growth, bubble size and coloration once I changed from the radion light back to a T5 fixture, it even split shortly after.
