also how old are the bulbs and what kind

would have to agree with no "live" rock and that much livestock your system is fighting a losing battle personally wouldn't add fish in two weeks . Post your water parameters their very important in helping determine the cause. Is it on your sand and glass, the bubbles I mean?? Do you have a powerhead or job filter???
