>>its a home depot undercabinet fixture...i was trying to save money by not buying an actual hood. its basically just metal, wires, and the ballast

Can you take it back to home depot?
It sounds like the ballast could be bad.
I just assumed ( I know, I should know better ) that it was a normal aquarium hood with a starter.
Sometimes saving a little extra money can cost more in the long run....lol
