Nano-reef.com has a great DIY forum which includes many styles of ATO. For a pico I would go with the simple and easy to build float switch/air-pump to pressurize a container of fresh water, like this one:

If you go with a battery powered system you don't have to worry about relays etc.

Actually this ATO looks better suited to your pico. No pumps or moving parts.

Modular led, he's in reddeer too so shipping would be peanuts. Plus you get a chocolate bar
