Seeding Issues :(

Ok here's my info,

4 seedlings, in a rubbermaid grow box, two intake fans one outtake fan and a passive vent at the bottom. 6 26 watt cfl's 4 daylight and two softwhite. Plexy glass is covering the lights and act as a hood with all fans. the temps reach about 81 to 85 degrees. I also have a small Massey fan 4" from wally world blowing in the chamber next to the plants in a upward fashion. The soil Im using is a general seeding starting mix with micro-nutrients, but I don't think enough to burn the plants. the ph is around 6.5 to 6.7. I water about every three days about a cup an a half for each seedling. the light cyle is on a 18/6 light/dark.

After about a day in a half after sprouting one of the seedling's serrated leaves started turning like a blackish blues shining look. and look really unhealthy. Now I think the rest are starting to do the same.

Could I be using to much light, the rubbermaid box is painted flat white on the inside? here are some picsIMG_0277.jpgIMG_0278.jpg or possibly even over watering?
