I've given up but it is Florida. They grow well in the winter here but I get that fungus. I was using an Earth Box which is supposed to provide the water from the bottom up.

Might be early or late blight. I don't think I've ever seen a fungus outbreak that was caused by overwatering on tomatoes. I've seen it on squash vines though and peas. Unpicked rotten fruit on the vine or ground can cause fungus.
If you see blight immediately trim and trim your transplants so that the leaves NEVER TOUCH THE GROUND.
Copper sulfate or raw cows milk sprayed on fungus will clear it up.
