Welp Ive decided to upgrade from my 105 rimless. Once again it will be an SPS dom. Its been fairly easy due to higher end equipment and past experience. Just waiting for the cycle to finish up, going on 2 weeks now. Heres a list of equipment on the new 150.

Equipment:
2xMP40
Eheim 5000 return
1x400w Radium with Lumatek Ballast
6xt5 with LED's
Neptune full Apex system
RLSS Skimmer DB10 DC skimmer
RLSS FR4 media reactor
Custom sump, dosing containers, ATO container canopy and stand
BM dosing pump
More to come!
Few pics of the progress

Not really i grew that from a 2'' frag. In my 105 I can keep it pretty high in the tank and it seems to like it.
