I currently have a 10 gallon reef but I'm picking up a red sea 130. it has the stock t5s. I'm just curious if its good enough to grow my corals? my corals consist of star polyps zoas a tyree toadstool and a Duncan. thank you :)

I would say stock lighting for the types of corals you mentioned would work fine. Water quality / parameters is probably your key with those, more so than lighting; not that upgraded lighting down the road would be a "bad" idea-- but I'd get your feet wet with what you have and hone your skills.

Solid plan right there.
