I don't understand. You have 150 gallons, and are asking what you CAN put into it? Pretty much anything minus a few particular tangs.. 

 

edit: or jellyfish. Or octopus.

And if you're looking for an actual tank suggestion, I want one of the high-end full package plug n play red seas.  that's our next upgrade.  My LFS has a spectacular display tank with one and the only thing they have added was a single mp60, everything else came with the tank (barring dosing and automation). All the pumps, lights, sump and skimmer can with the tank

Yes I wouldn't even imagine running a tank of that size without a sump.

 

But since you're even asking that question, is your tank drilled?

It’s easier to help with far more specific questions. You got a 150 already, what filtration is being run on it? For tanks that size a sump is practically mandatory. For livestock it helps to browse around, find some fish you’d like and create a list. Then others can go over that list and critique what might go wrong and better options.

alright sump on the shopping list by the way no it is not drilled

Not all sumps are created equal btw. You should really do a lot of research. Browse the large tanks forums look at is being used and how it's set up.  A lot of these questions are striking me as "new to the hobby". No offense.  Even a lot of nanos have sumps and most of us wished our nanos had sumps. So the thought of running a large tank without one is non-existent for most of us. Also most of us have a strong idea of what we want in a large tank from researching out small tanks and being told no on a variety of fish because our nanos are too small.  So from those questions, it's sounding like you are pretty new to the hobby and should probably pump the breaks on a shopping list and carefully research and plan your tank. Then build a shopping list from that.

For fish. If I had a 150 I would make it a night input high export predator system. A purple tang some kind of bristle tooth, some lionfish, a bluethroat trigger. Some larger wrasses (halichoris). I would custom build my own sump out of acrylic or a 40 breeder. Depending on budget, and get a bunch of secondhand stuff for life support
