Im not sure which forum to post this in - it could probably go into about 4, so i chose two (fresh and salt).

Is there such a thing as a square pin to straight pin adapter? (for CF 55/65W bulbs)?

Where could one find one.

With PC,usually the ballast comes already with the
straight/square connectors.....I replaced one of the ballast from
my PC/HQI lights and I bought the ballast(SunPark ballast) and it already
had the square connector.....
As far as connectors most likely you will have to do the cutting and rewiring
of it, DYI ,since both have for wires the same but at different configuration.
4 pins in SQ/STRAIGHT.
Talk to the guys at Marinescape they might be able to guide to
your questions and needs.
cheers.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right.  Forget about the one's who don't.  Believe everything happens for a reason.  If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
