Are 4 eels to much for a 150? I would like a golden moray, black edge moray, jeweled moray aswell as a fimbriated moray.
Is that overstock once full grown even if i have about 200lbs of live rock and under substrate pvc pipes.
 
I personally have a blackedge moray right now in a 29 gallon by himself. An excellent aquarium eel. All the others you have chosen stay fairly small I believe their maximum size is 3ft or less. They should be alright together particularly if you add them at the same time and have enough space for at least 4 territories. My biggest concern is your filtration. Does the tank have a sump and how big is the sump? Do you have a protein skimmer? Refugium or someother type of filtration. If you don't use a refugium to help control nutrients you can grow macro algae in your display.

I believe if you can appropriately handle the bioload it can be done, but keep in mind that the species should be of similar aggression levels, although individual fish may act differently and exception exist
 
im doing a spotted and a blackedge in a 100 gallon so you could do 3 probably with good filtration
 
I have 2 in my 180 and they share a den. Ones a sf and te other a chainlink. They get along fine. They were added 2 years apart after my black edge jumped and died
