Your tank's temperature is too high. Needs about 24C + for it to flourish. Also, it also needs lots of light, so more light comes with a higher temeprature. Take note.

The browning of Erect Moss has nothing to do with temperature. I used to have healthy Erect Moss growing in 24C as well as 28C. Now they have all turned brown
This is happening all over Singapore and many believe this has something to do the water coming out from our tap ....
It does seem to be a rather all-round phenomenon. The uncles at bioplast also face this problem (although I saw in an LFS in AMK a healthy log of the moss this week).
is this only happening to only erect moss all other kinds of plants and mosses
what shd we do to minimize the effects
Mostly Erect Moss and a few reports of Christmas Moss as well.
We still don't know what causes it.
Too much iron, copper, zinc?
Extracted from: http://eesc.orst.edu/agcomwebfile/ed...FS55/FS55.htmlMany chemical materials effectively kill moss in lawns. Most commercial formulations contain metals such as iron (Fe), copper (Cu), or zinc (Zn) as the active ingredient. Cryptocidal (mosskilling) soaps also are available. All of these materials can kill moss, but some are more effective than others.
Iron compounds are highly effective moss killers in turf. These compounds work quickly, and the iron stimulates a "green-up" of turf. Complete fertilizers with iron efficiently remove moss and stimulate grass growth, which improves turf appearance.

im staying around pierce resevoir area, water here is alright, but just 2 weeks back, water was tested to be 7.6pH. Cool eh?

sorry for bringing up an old thread.
i am facing the same problem. my moss is in the same tank as my ferns and crypts and valis in an ambient lit setting. while there are new fronds appearing, the older ferns (in contact with light still) are turning brown mid section and after reading this thread, i had recently dosed the tank slightly 5ml over 80 liters, with tetrapride red.
does it mean that (inferred from this thread) iron/iron compund fertilisers are no no for moss? if so how to do the fertilisation for other plants?
