Well I have a 2.5gal fluval spec which I'm going to make into a pico when I find the time. I'm thinking of using a par38 bulb (not yet decided what kind). However that might give you a spotlight type effect (unless you use two).
Perhaps a reefbrite strip?

They are apparently available in Canada, however I am not sure where.
Do you just have rubble in the overflow? I was thinking of making the overflow into a refgium with a DIY air driven skimmer. Also replacing the stock pump with a hydor pico:
