Sounds if you got an unhealthy plant from the get go. I would remove all the leaves that are dieing. New leaves will come out of the rhizome, if the rhizome is healthy.
As far as nutrients look for the Seachem line. I would start with Flourish & Excel... http://www.seachem.com/Products/Planted.html
Java Fern is a low light plant, but if you decide to get other plants that require more light then you will need a higher wattage fixture. I'm not filmiliar with T8 lighting, but see if the bulb has a K rating on it. For plants a K rating of between 5500K-10000K is best.
