For the corals you mentioned PC's should be okay.
South down is as you guessed too fine for a plenum system, I recommend Seaflor special grade aragonite sand.
It's what I use im my plenum system.

I agree with Burn. The lighting will be fine. Placement of the corals is key. I have the same corals in my 33gal under the same lighting-2 24" 55w PC. All are doing very well. As for the sand I run a DSB, so the finer the sand the better. Not the case with a plenum, use Burns advise here. He is the plenum king. --Bob
