T5 lighting often uses off the shelf parts, so you can often use replacement ballasts from other sources. Electrically as long as you match up the ballast to the lights it will drive and match the wires correctly, your good to go.

The big problems are usually making sure a replacement ballast will fit correctly. You need to choose something the same size or smaller. If it's smaller, you might need to do some retrofitting to mount it correctly.

The other thing to consider is getting an LED upgrade, such as Steve's LEDs for your tank. You can see it here - http://www.stevesleds.com/Red-Sea-Max-250C250-LED-Upgrade--Plug-and-Play_p_192.html It's not inexpensive, but you'll see a big improvement in light.
