It isn't dust, it's marine snow. AKA tiny dead things from the rock and sand being blown around in the tank. Corals love to feed on it. As a rule it only happens in the ocean, but I remember when I had my tank the first year every once a month or so I would get snow.
It's a natural cycle of life in the ocean.. Eventually it goes away and not return, I don't recall when that magic day came..I just noticed it didn't occure any more.. Maybe the type of tiny from the rocks have something to do with it.

it will go away in time, it doesnt look like too much. once your tank starts settling in, those will go away and algae will set in
