Default Hey everyone! I'm new!!

Hi there everyone!
I'm Ema from Canada...looking forward to expanding my limited collection of orchids!!

A friend of mine is setting up a 15 gallon tank for me with misters/fans etc. and I'm looking forward to growing some orchids naturally found in cloud forests! Should be a challenge, but I'm definitely up for it. There will probably be some casualties along the way, but I suppose that's to be expected with a beginner such as myself.
If anyone has any experience with growing in tanks, I'd love to know how you've found it and/or what species you find thrive in such environments.
