So is this a fairly easy DIY fix without specialized tools or equipment?
First I was thinking of just adjusting the tension and see if that works, and if it doesn't, moving on to replace the belt and maybe pulley(s).
I am going to read through the whole thread ASAP and some of my questions may be answered, but I am at work and won't have time until later today. Any help would be appreciated.

There is only ONE belt. I would replace your belt along with the tensioner and idler pulleys.
