Does what you have look look dust you see on a counter top, or is it small dots of white fuzz that won't sink? If it's the white fuzz, it's a water fungus. I've had this in a few tanks a while ago, especially in the filter around the uptake tube. It just seemed to hang out there and drift around in circles.
If that's what you've got, it's harmless, but it doesn't look that great. Give the inside of your filter and uptake tube a good cleaning with some diluted bleach (off the tank, of course) and rinse well. Use an aquarium-safe sponge or paper towel to clean up under the rim of the tank and try to get as much out as you can, followed by a water change (if you have a fine mesh net, like a brine shrimp net, use this to skim as much off the surface as you can). Repeat as needed, but you might want to do this more frequently than regular water changes. You'll need to get the stuff out before it makes more spores to reproduce.

First use a fine cheesecloth, put it under the surface and open it out flat, then lift it strait up. (better to have help with this one.) then do a 30% water change. be sure your pump is running properly. also consider using an air bubbler to agitate the water. finally keep your tank covered to prevent dust and other particles from settling on top, this also prevents fish from jumping out.

OK. First you have to get a filter to filter the water in your aquarium. Than you have to shift your aquarium to a place where there dust does not accumulate.

Take a clean cloth or just your average fish-net and scoop it out.
We have a golden retriever at our house and he sheds A LOT! The top of our aquarium water has been getting dustier ever since we got him.

how is it getting dusty?
you should be doing water changes every week, and there should be a filter running and it should have a cover to protect the water from airborne contagients and chemicals.
scoop it off and put a filter and cover on it.

you should use a plastic pitcher, held only on the floor of the water to allow for mushy water flo into the field from the waters floor, enable the dirt flo in besides unload the field and repeat.

sweep the top of the water with a clean cloth, and keep a lid on the tank

put a piece of preservative film or tinfoil on the top of the water,i think that can absorb the dust
