Thinking of a terrarium...

So I have a tall 55 gallon tank with a hinged front (the top half of the front folds down) and then I have a screen lid on top. I would really love love love to make it into a terrarium, specifically for some orchids. I have no idea where to start...so I'm begging for any and all input! I currently only have a Cattleya hybrid (label says Michael Edward Boersma 'Carmela'?) and a Dendrobium hybrid (labeled 'Hollywood'). Would these do good in a terrarium?

Questions:

-Lighting? What do I use and what wattage?
-Substrate? Hydroton as bottom drainage?
-Easy, hardy, fast growing orchids?

Thanks in advance!
