Looks stunning...!

If you can promote a bloom of diatoms, dinoflagellates, or cyanobacteria, they will pearl for you as well. Even your front glass will pearl beautifully.
Your other option is to use a slow drip of Soda water. I prefer Perrier, with lime.
I've even seen some guys use a neat dosing pump involving a diet Coke and some Mentos. They had big tanks, though, and my small tanks would probably not respond well to an overabundance of Mentos.
