Tomato seedlings dying

I'm having a major problem here. Just about all of my tomato seedlings that have germinated die right after their seedling leafs form. The room is about 70 degrees all the time and I make sure they have plenty of water. I started them all in jiffy7 peat pelets in the watering trays that hold up to 38 plants to start. There are four of these trays per shelf with three sets of florecent bulbs totaling six bulbs per shelf. I've done it this way for the last four years without ever a problem. Also dying are my Zinnias and marigolds. My eggplants and peppers so far seem ok. Some people say I may have over watered as the jiffy pelets are soaked to the point where if you take them out water will drip from them. Please help thank you
