I am newer at this hobby then you are. My tank is 4 1/2 months old. But my guess is it is still your lights. By what I understand it not nessicary the watts per gallon but the spectrum of the light. If you don't want the add expense of MH lights, then what about T5's? By what I understand they are the next best thing to MH. Also post what your water parameters are.
