I haven't seen any powerheads small enough personally, but that would be the best choice. I see that you have purchased one, so if it doesn't take up alot of room in the tank, thats the best option.

23w CF is great for a 3g. With your DIY CO2, you should be fine with that light. Do you know the Kelvin (K) rating for the bulbs? Hopefully they are marked daylight. If they are soft white, they won't work.....you want daylight bulbs.
GS, 1500K/actinic bulbs would be useless to plants........even 15000 would be useless. For plants you want something between 6500K and 10000K.
