Wow thanks for the detail! I went ahead and bought a horticulture bulb on amazon, but when walking through the hardware store I couldn't help but notice a price difference when the colors matched. Now I know what to look for in a bulb!

Back in the game! Both lights now working, I'm bringing the new fixture and number 2 Ballast up to operating temp to make sure everything is running ok. Since I'm still germinating seeds I'm only using one light (2 popped from there warm moist cubes while I was at work and are looking much, healthier). And Jesus that second light really brightens up things! I think I'll have to use my sunglasses to get in there to do my daily chores, lol.
