Here is what I have so far. I have a feeling it is not enough. If so please let me know if you have any available, I somehow never catch people in time when they are selling it on the forum.
Here is what is currently in the 180.

This is my 72 bowfront which will be added once the 180 is cycled

I don't think you will "need" more live rock but depending on how your lighting is and what you are wanting to keep for livestock you will probably "want" more live rock. With the price of live rock I would use some good base rock on the bottom and place the nice live rock on top of it.
 
You do NEED more for biological filtration. That tank looks crash-able due to lack of places for nitrifying bacteria to populate.
 
I would add more for aesthetics but after adding what you have from the 72 is will be better. 180's take up a lot of space and hold a lot of rock. If your bio-load is kept light you can get away with less rock. Add a lot of messy fish and the situation will change.
