Interesting I was just looking into a way to do good FAE in a similar style FC. I already have a good ultrasonic so humidity is almost no problem whatsoever how did you do your setup with the air pump?

I'd have to agree that some of this seems like overkill.
I have never made a Martha (greenhouse grow chamber) so take what i say with a few grains of salt. These are just my opinions.
For FAE, you simply need an exhaust fan at the bottom and a hole with a filter at the top. CO2 is heavier than Oxygen so it will make it's way to the bottom of the chamber anyway and the amount of CO2 those mushies produce won't be greater than the amount of air that the fan will move. If you really want to be sure go with 2 fans sucking air out the bottom. More than that and you'll have strong air currents in your chamber that will cause casings to dry out faster and inconsistent humidity levels.
I would think that one cool mist would be sufficient as well. If you ran 1 cool mist 24/7, you'd be pumping liters upon liters into the chamber. That would be more than enough and prolly too much.
Now, the lights. I would try to keep all lights above the casings. Those lights on the side will cause the mushies on that level to grow a little sideways. That doesn't really matter i suppose but i like pretty flushes lol. How to go about this I'm not sure. You could prolly get away with 3 light strips on the top if you put them as far out as possible.
Ok there's my 2 cents. Don't take it too seriously!

It's like trying to put a jet engine on a hang glider. It ain't gonna work.
There's plenty of information around here on mini-greenhouses and also detailed explanations of how to set them up and why you want to have them in a room the proper temperature, not a cold or hot garage. I've written dozens of pages on it and I won't re-type it all here. If you're interested in how I do it, search my username and the word mini-greenhouse. Good luck. RR
