Looking at starting corals this summer.

I have a 5 ft 130 gallon tank with 2x Reefwave 45’s (one on each end). Do you think this is enough flow or do I need to supplement?

Plan to have mostly LPS with a couple of softies and maybe eventually some “beginner” SPS (like birds nest).

Tank is 6 months old. Been working on keeping stable parameters and dosing 2-part.

I agree with the above. The corals will tell you if they are happy or not. With flow, I've learned less is fine and the tank thrives for me. I only run my MP40s at 30%.
