SPS Dominant Rock Height

[HTXReefer]

I am currently building a Planet 180 gallon (72x24x24) SPS dominant tank. I will be running an 8 bulb T5 fixture with two SB Reef actinic bars. For those of you with similar configurations how high is the rock in your tank? I 150 lbs off shelf and 50 lbs of regular rock knowing I probably won’t use but half of it

Following also setting up a 180 shortly and will be using a 8 bulb t5 fixture.

Doing the same with a 150 now with 8 bulb T5. I have been told halfway in tank height to allow for enough SPS growth and tank flow. But I really think it all depends on preference TBH. My rock is about 12-15" high off the bottom of the tank.

Regardless of tank size, I like to go about 2/3 up at the highest point.
