    Great info. Does anyone have pics of the different color stages for these fish? Most books and posts just show the juvenile coloration.

    They get very large, require a lot of food, and they poop a lot. You best be doing what some people call "overskimming".

    is overskimming have to do with a level or air setting or using a larger skimmer with a big pump

    If you have a 150, you best have a skimmer rated for 250 gallons to keep this animal long-term. Skimmer companies tend to over-rate their skimmers so you need to "overskim" to make sure you keep up with the waste.
