A friend of mine is willing to build a 150 gallon acrylic tank. He usually works with epoxy and thinks that would be better than silicone. Is epoxy fish safe?

You dont build acrylic tanks with silicone. it does NOT work! you build glass tanks with silicone and acrylic tanks with acrylic cement
I’d definitely make sure it holds water first. Would glass be better?150 gallons is a lot of water to put in something built by someone who has never built an aquarium before. Building your own acrylic tank can definitely be done, but I’m not sure I’d want the first attempt to be a 150G tank.
