Tomato leaves yellowing (pic included)

I was very disturbed to see yellowing on the leaves of my tomato seedlings this week. It seems to be in one group under one light. The rest appear unaffected.

These plants were in 3" pots, started 3/29. I water 1-2 times per week and have a fan on them. Last week I watered with a diluted fish emulsion for the first time. The other plants did not have this reaction, but I do think this bunch might have gotten a stronger dose? I bottom water and the yellowing is from the bottom up.

I was concerned they were crowded in the pots and near each other, so I potted up on Monday afternoon into 20 oz solo cups with drainage holes. I dampened the new mix when I potted up but did not water. Slight improvement on all plants but one, which I lost.

The San Marzano, pictured is the most yellow. Any ideas? Is this disease? Seed borne? Could I be spreading it via the fan?

Should I cut the water to 1 x per week? Should I not fertilize again?

I'm hoping these plants can be saved.
