Oyster setup reccomendation

I'm thinking of building a setup in my apartment for growing oysters. I will be placing the setup in my living room as I don't have a garage or any spare rooms. What would be a good choice for a setup for oysters, a martha?

I had a large heated Martha outside, worked like a charm for years until the weather destroyed it. I'm also looking at doing the same indoors, when I get some space sorted out.
Martha's should also have decent isolation from the rest of the room. Which helps keeps mold spores out, and your spores in.

Make sure to exhaust those spores!

I have (now disconnected) an old central heating system which I rigged for outdoor use. It was connected to the Martha and regulated using sensors and shutoff valves.

I ran copper tubing, like a radiator.

How do you provide FAE for martha? And should one use an ultrasonic humidifier for humiditt?

Like myco said, the biggest thing to take into account when setting up a greenhouse or martha for oysters in you home is exhausting spores out of the house, it's a serious health hazard, RR almost died from having oysters growing in his bed room, true story. I myself am allergic to the spores, when I have fruiting oysters way out in my shop I am always sick no matter what I do, and I think I may be allergic from fruiting oysters in my house when I started and got over exposed. Just be careful and absolutely take into mind getting those spores out of your house.

Can't I just put a filter in the fan that blows the air out of the martha to filter the spores?
Can anybody point out a good martha tek? I'm not sure how you provide FAE to a martha.

If you value your health, exhaust the spores outside your house.

i have spore lung for shiitake, not oysters. now if I take one breath without a mask on in the grow room, when shiitakes are fruiting, I come down with a 101F fever in about 6 hours. Lasts about 12hrs. repeated spore exposure (spore lung) can cause lung cancer, ain't no joke!
