Ok, so I'll admit to not being so successful on the giant tomato seed starting. They germinated and sprouted just fine with the bulbs adjusted bright enough to maintain 80 degrees.
When the seedlings sprouted the 75 watt bulbs were turned down the lowest they would go to maintain just enough bottom heat. Air temperature inside the box was fairly steady between 70 and 73 degrees. I consulted scott_kim_west_iowa and he suggested the one thing I left out.....an adjustable desk fan to get a breeze going. Made sense. The seedlings probably just got top heavy (if there is such a thing lol) and keeled over because they weren't strong enough. Oh well......glad I'm practicing! Thanks Scott for the tip!
