Looking for advice New 150 build

[AllFin-ished]

Hello I'm new to the forum and also will be new to reef building. But I'm looking to start a new 150 tank I have built into the wall behind my bar. I am not compleatly new at salt water as I have had many smaller fish / live rock tanks befor and was successful. I am picking up a ro di 100gpd made by melevs reef to start making the water here this weekend. I'm looking for suggestions or advice on sump style filter that I can make myself with a pvc overflow. I have done a ton of research on it and found a few I like but any advice would help sump size flow rates and ideas for the sump itself would be great maybe lighting as well even tho I'm not in a rush for that want to set the tank up and have it running and stable for a long while befor I worry about that. But anyways thanks in advance for any advice and glad to join the group I'm sure I can read and learn alot on here.
