Default Orchid stand suggestions wanted

How about mounting a secondhand fish tank on it's side? Plenty of light.
Wall protection from the misting device?

Situation:
I have in my study a 1.5 meter high window facing west. Sun comes in the
late afternoon. Room temp between 18 and 20 centigrade during the day and
between 14 and 16 at night. Just under a flat roof it can be near 30

degrees
centigrade on hot days in summer. There is a wall in a 90 degrees angle
(facing north) just next to this window. There is a vent slit just above

the
window that gives a slight draft but can be closed.

Question:
Is there a system that can be hung on the wall where you can place orchids
on. I could imagine a plastic type of background with attached a water
collecting construction at the bottom. This will allow me to mist the
orchids without having to remove them and not soaking the wall. Just like

a
small case without sides wich perhaps allows to hang additional light

above
and attach a small fan for air circulation.
