what to do???

Well Rachel, I'd return the bulb to Jayson, it hasn't been used so I don't see a problem.

If I were gonna purchase a a Radium Bulb, it would be 400w, and I'd run it off a PFO HQI Ballast or a Bueline haven't heard that many good things about the Radium bulb in 250w (Too Blue)

FYI - Icecap is coming out with a 400W ballast in the near future so will be interesting to see how it compares to PFO HQI & Blueline running the Radium.
