I don't like most of those options. If I had to pick one of those, I suppose the XR30. I wouldn't try to light a 28x28 footprint with a Kessil.

Light bars with the Kessil would be an option. But it looks like the 360x add ons are only 11" long, so that doesn't really help much with the 28" tank. I would get 24" light bars instead, if you are going that route.

Other options depend on budget.

There is massive discount of coralcare gen 2 on brs. You really should consider this. It has more of a full spectrum. Which I think Is better for macroalgaes. Correct me if I’m wrong. But, the light shipped is 587.

Phillips Coralcare Gen 2 (reef) on sale at BRS. $680. Probably total over kill, but cheaper than a radion or other combinations.

Once you add it to cart it takes another 136 off as well. At least it did when I bought mine.
