Default New terrarium

I am turning one of my coral reefs into a 80 gal orchid terrarium (and other fellow/comp species) into a terrarium.

In all the terrarium guides I have read they all assume high humidity (no prob, have built a adjustable fogger from reef equipment, compatible with computer) some airflow (no prob) but medium temperatures.

Since I plan to use the same lightning ( 1x250 W metal halige HQI and 4x24W T5 tubes) free hanging (no totally closed terrarium top) The temperatures will be quite high in the max temp hours (3-4 hours)

So my question in simply this:
Which Orchid species thrive in heavy sun for a few hours (at least), high max temperatures 35C 95F+, medium to high airflow and high humidity (but not extreme).

Sorry about my English.. Try my best

You might try Tolumnia's, although they do like to dry out between waterings.
