EDIT. They might not even know WTF you have. The aquarium ballasts and lamps are out of their field of expertise. The standard MH ballasts and lamps they sell are not the same as the ones we use. They may or may not even have a catalogue for something close.
I have taken light fixtures to Westburne here in Red Deer & the fellow helped me figure out what was wrong in a matter of a few minutes. I guess customer service is better here then most places for some things anyway but NOT SW shops that is for sure

EDIT: I bought a replacement ballast for my MH/T5 combo fixture there recently, they really are not that much different.
