I don't really understand you question, but from reading some parts are you questioning if your lights good or if you want a new light? If you have fish with live rock only, which looks like it from your pictures, you can have any kind of lighting you want. But if you want a reef in the future you will need to look into t5, metal halides, or Leds.

^exactly

What kind of light strip are you using now? How many bulbs? Most bulbs have some writing on them that tells you the kind they are. Could you read it and let us know what you have? It looks like your lights are fine but we need to know more info to say for certain.

Black lights should never be used for an aquarium. Blue lights are great though.
