Think you have change too much water & cause not enough nitrate left in your tank.
Try to reduce the water change to 20% and see how.
Also, what's your tank's temperature? Heard that Erect Moss doesn't like high temperature.
my temp is at 27deg constant. im just not sure whether too much lightings is the cause of the browning. it grows really slowly also.
any moss expert can tell me more abt the requirements of growing erect moss?

I'm no moss expert but can share my experience. Is your erect moss turning brown at the ends or the whole frond. If it is at the ends, you may wish to snip off the brown ends till the fresh aspect are left at the tip. I just got some erect moss about 2-3 weeks back and after a few days, they started to die/turn brown from the ends spreading inwards. I snip off the brown ends and fresh moss start to grow from there. Your temp at 27deg seems ok as moss thrive under cool water. My temp is around there too. I hope this helps.
cheers
i had your experience too
this is what i did to "revive" my moss
i on my lights at night instead in the day... so my tank won't be so hot in the day.. i maintain the temp at 26 constant with fan on 24 hours
i dose K2HPO4 twice a week......seachem flourish once a week 1/2 a capful
after 1.5 weeks...new shoots start to grow...... easily noticable....contrasted with the brown ones...=)
all the best!!
I had the same experience with my Erect Moss until I had install
a fan to lower down the temp to 27C of my tank and the moss started
to grow and it turns green again.
Where do you guys get erect moss? I can't find them around. The ones available were mostly javas. Pls provide LFS address if you can. Thank you, thank you...
NA sells them but no stock at the moment(that was last week). I think he cultivates them then sells them when they are ready for harvesting. It's in the tank right at the entrance.
