Bro, why don't you give us more information on your moss situation, like what do you tie it on, what you tie it with, what moss.
Cause you tank specs seem to be okay..

it might be due to water problem..I having it for my weeping and Xmas moss last time, keep turning brown.
But now my tank condition back to normal and all moss grow well.
Corleone,
Well, seriously have no idea what moss is it. They looks the same to me.
hii,
What did you do to your water?
Is your moss newly bought?
Can try by maintaining water quality, moss like clean water.

they just make the most of everything that comes along their way

Yeap, most of the time the mosses that tend to turn brown and die away are usually weeping, Christmas, anchor mosses..they tend to prefer clean waters. Check on your filtration, if you haven't washed for a while, maybe give it a rinse.
I suspect fauna trouble... Got SAE's?
You can if you dare to fail - Stan Chung
Yes, SAE may nibble at moss and leave them bald, but usually not to a point of turning brown.
You also want to keep that temp more stable at the lower range of 25C. They just love it cold.
Lower that 25C..okok....
I grow in 26C with chiller also perfect. Medium - High light will be better for them to grow into nicer shape.
OT abit guys,
is weeping moss or peacock moss harder to survive than other mosses? thanks
not really, depends on your conditioning..once it meets their requirements, they will flourish non-stop too..
MY other plants are doing ok only the moss is dying. sians....
The only moss I know that often mysteriously turns brown and fades away is erect moss. But that happens after it thrives in the tank. There were many such cases reported in Killies.com without conclusion.
If all conditions are appropriate, most moss hobbyists keep here are generally hardy. The basic conditions for moss is cool and clean water, and it does well even in moderate light. I have a low maintenance moss tank in office and the moss is doing well without WC, light source from ceiling office FL, no fert, no Co2. Of course high light, good co2 and adequate fert will help them pick it up faster.
How long is your moss in the tank? Could it be that it is in the phase of adaption? Also consider the source of the moss. Where did you buy it? Some moss are terrestrial.
Don't give up on moss. Its quite rewarding to see your tank full of flourishing moss.
