    Clean up crew?? How many at one time?

    As said, that's fine. You can add as many as you want really... just make sure there is enough food available.

    MH Light makes temp rise

    Personally I'd add a fan and try to keep the tank around 82. I run my tanks between 80-82 and all of my corals are doing great. IMO 84 isn't all that bad but I personally wouldn't let it get much higher. With proper acclimation the corals will do fine at that temp...

    Do I need 150 or 250 metal halide lights

    What are your 120g dimensions? I ran 2-400w MHs on a 60" long 110g without needing a chiller. A lot will depend on your setup.

    Question about tank size + sump

    Depends on the situation but here you would have to go by the display only. Tangs need room to swim... personally I'd have to say a minimum of a 6' tank regardless of how many gallons it holds.

    Added 2nd fuge to setup opinions?

    I don't see anything wrong with it except the skimmer may grow algae on it... or in it due to the light. I'd run it for a few weeks and see what happens!!

    Should I put Bristle worms in my main tank?

    Have you looked into the display at night to see if you can see bristle worms?? To answer your question, yes I would... although they should migrate to your display naturally unless there are filters blocking the way. Still, I'd add some if you wanted.

    Refuge

    Advantages include... larger water volume, having a place to harvest macro algae, having a safe place for small critters such as pods to grow and multiply, it's possible to add a DSB & more LR to further aid in nutrient export, and having a algae filled refuge lite opposite of the display's...

    Converting Sump to Refugium question

    A filter after the refuge would stop pods and such from migrating to the display... I'd just ditch the filter.

    Lighting

    Again, for a FOWLR... 2-72" VHOs would look nice IMO and you can always add lighting to the later if you want.
