I agree with mike61289. A 180g would be more appropriate for those fish.

I would rescale my fish options towards a little smaller. You could certainly keep a dwarf angel, even a small harem of them. I'm no puffer expert, but I think the big ones are too big, and the small ones, like the valentini mentioned above, are too slow to compete at feeding time. Instead, consider a tang or two. There are some sturdy butterflies, like the Auriga or Heniochus.
One of the great things about FOWLR tanks is you're not restricted to reef-safe fish, so you've got lots to choose from. It might help to decide what fish you want the most - your pivotal species. All other choices will need to be compatible with it, making your decisions a little easier. Once you have your fish list, you can decide on their order of introduction. Smaller, more timid fish go in first, bigger more boisterous fish go in last. I hope this is helpful. Good luck!
