Upgrade my Smatfarm 95w?!?!

I’m new in this hobby. My tank has been runnning since March, tbs live rock. I have some LPS, zoas and will be adding softies.

Current lights are Smatfarm 95W. Two of them.
I don’t like the shadowing I get or shimmer. They are 9-10 inches off the water.

Would a strip light be better? Like an AI blade? How can I configure this to get a more even light both daylight and evening?

What is the tank size?

Oh yeah. It’s an innovative marine 60 gallon AIO 35 long x17x16 in water depth

I think you have a lot of options, IMO anything in the 200-250 watts range should work well.
I do like AI lights, never tried a blade but I love my prime.
I also love my orphek bars, they put out a beautiful shade of blue IMO.

I'm sure there are many others that other folks can suggest good luck
