I only have a small light set up and I never use a fan but it looks like your light source is not fluorescent so it has to be farther away from the plants to avoid burning them with heat. I believe that this may lead to leggy plants reaching for the light.

Here is a pic of my little set up. The plant color actually looks greener than the pic shows but the fluorescent tube causes the pic to overexpose.

Here is another pic showing the color and the stockiness of the stems better
