This dust like flying all over my tank and millions of them on glass and overflow boxes. Clean the glass every day. Any ideas?

Some of those are pods, but the majority of what your seeing on your glass is probably just algae growth. If it's a new tank then this is quite common.

Also about the "dust." Make sure it's not just micro bubbles that will float back to the surface. If so you need to find the source to get rid of them.

Does look like micro bubbles or copods if you have a magnifying glass you should be able to make out the copods on the glass.

See if they look like this,
