Probably not a disease. More likely a nutrient deficiency. Are you using any ferts?

You could be giving it too much light. My friend has a few of those, he only gives them 9 hours of light a day, and they've lived about 8 months

I'm still betting on a nutrient imbalance.

trim the leaves off, up your CO2 and your PO4 to about 5-10ppm. Just be sure to keep trimming off the affected leaves. The source is a light/CO2/nutrient imbalance. Once that's corrected them it will go away.
