Stocking Questions

I am currently upgrading my 72 FOWLR to a 180 FOWLR and wanted to know if my planned stocking would be alright.
From the 72:
Bursa Trigger
Niger Trigger
Coral Hog
Valentini Toby/Puffer
Would like to eventually add:
Pinktail Trigger
Harlequin Tusk
Dogface Puffer
Also after the move would a Blue Throat Trigger,Lyretail Hog, and Pinkface Wrasse work in the 72.

Every fish, on that list, besides the Valentini Puffer is NOT suitable for that size tank. Every single one of those fish, by themselves, would need a tank double the size you have (at least)...put them all together and you're looking at 300gal.+

I think you guys may have misunderstood my question. All those fish would not be going into a 72. I would be putting whats in the 72 now, which is my 2 still fairly small triggers, along with the hogfish and the puffer/toby into the 180, and wanted to know if I could add the other 3 fish that I would like to keep (Tusk,Pinktail,Dogface) along with them and keep that setup for a while.
