White spots is probably ich. Do a search, you'll get hundreds of hits. Skin falling off and white patches indicates a fungus to me. Look up the symptoms of a fungal infection. I'd add some salt and melafix asap...meantime, figure out exactly what you have and begin medicating.
Also, what was your recent problem? It may very well be connected to this problem.
And, does the new tank have a heater? What temp is it?
