Almost 2 years now, most died.
I bought a temp/humidity meter
No natural light, and in the previous good tank there was no natural light either.
Loose fitting glass lid. No fan

How long have the orchids been in the new tank? It would take a few months for low light to cause any visible problems other than lack of growth. Is there any natural light at all?
Do you have any way measuring temperature and humidity? If not, that's a high priority both for long term health of plants and determining what the problem may be. Do you have a fan for internal air movement? How open is the tank to outside air? Tightly covering the tank would hold humidity but a fan for circulation would be a necessity.

i have the egg crate on the bottom with screen over the top.
That is my false bottom.
I had no water under it, I was just
misting the surface of the plants once per week.
I just added a layer of water to the bottom.
1 gallon worth

Put a jar in there with water and an aquarium air stone. The bubbling will evaporate quite a bit of water.
