I have a 65g tank that has been set up for 2 months now. I am getting a whole lot of white specks on the back of my tank. (inside). Is this good or bad to have?

The white specks are normal. They are either cope pods, worms, snails, or something in your tank has spawned.

Can you get a picture?

Welcome-Most likely there will be something new in your tank everyday.....from now on......especially if you look.
Don't even get me started about looking at it @ night with a flashlight. :wink:

Usually on a start up tank the white specks are spirobids (they are like tiny spiral feather dusters) or if you have nerite snails it is their egg cases. They aren't bad just one of the stages your tank will go through.
