Is the plant turning black?  I've seen this before on
rare occasions with my brevipes even though it does
very well most of the time.  I'm pretty sure it has to
do with a shortage of micronutrients.  I bumped up my
Flourish dosage and the problem went away.  

I'd also suggest you make sure your nitrate and
phosphate levels are in line.  A better co2 system
wouldn't hurt either.
