JJ Welcome.... Do not be concerned about 'protocol'.... plan good manners works around here. We agree and disagree with each other and basically enjoy and learn from and with each other.

As for the inside Bonsai... in Florida I am sure you know the trees can live outside. But if an indoor type is what you are looking for... Ficus is a good choice. Perhaps you could bring it outside for a bit each day.... or for most of the week and bring it in when you need to. The glass windows you mention will block a good deal of the light needed. You could think about adding some artificial light as a back up... if needed. Basically.. you can do it with the right tree and with light. Humidity is also important and should not be ignore..... Just a few thoughts... from the north
