Well, by white specks, do you mean salt-like dots ? If so, this is ick. If you have a FO tank, meaning no live sand, live rock or inverts, then you can treat in the tank using hyposalinity. If you have anything else but a FO tank, will need to remove all fish from the tank and place them in a hospital tank, then treat with hyposalinity.
Hyposalinity has been extensively discussed in this forum. Use our search feature and type in hyposalinity. You will get all the info you need on how this procedure works.
Good luck!
