I want to get about 150000 ropsten ether for testing. Is there any way to get it? I've seen some faucet websites but they have limitations.

you don't need this for tests, unless you are doing tests with division operations on the amount. For tests, 1 Wei is enough , you could do 5^18 tests with the amount given to you for free.– NulikCommented Sep 8, 2018 at 13:00

@Nulik Yes that's my reason for that. I want to test my smart contract which has a complicated computations with that number.– MoeinCommented Sep 8, 2018 at 13:07

It will be very hard, if not impossible, to get 150,000 RETH. Your best bet will be to use a private chain and configure an account to have this amount. You would do this by doing the following:
ganache-cli --account="<private_key>,<balance>"
In your case, this would be something like:
ganache-cli --account="0x3a1076bf45ab87712ad64ccb3b10217737f7faacbf2872e88fdd9a537d8fe266,150000000000000000000000"

1@zediziza anyone with a 6-digit RETH amount would be able to flood and hang the whole testnet. There's a good reason for not giving away that much test currency - being relatively stable and similar to mainnet in as many ways as possible is the whole point of a public testnet. You can always try mining it though: github.com/asseth/ropsten-miner– UtgardaCommented Sep 8, 2018 at 20:27
