Hi all.. I realise my pump that pump out the water back to my tank, has alot of white dot which it looks like dust swmiming in my tank.. but the pump doesn't keep pumping the 'dust' out.. Sometime it will put out and it will be alot..

Keep the reef happy and that is our pride.

My guess is your external filter is expelling bubbles in the process. I used to use an Eheim external canister filter. And occasionally when I heard a "Gusting" noise made by my canister, I know the next thing bubbles will be seen coming out from water inlet pipe into display tank. You can't control it if it's from your canister. The only precaution to be taken is to ensure canister is air tight.

Can you confirm it's dust or air bubbles?

Air bubbles rise, and dust after some times settles...

Most probably will be air intake. Once accumulated in the pump, will be expelled. The cycle goes on until all the air trapped is expelled. Or if there are leaks, it will keep on sucking in air and accumulate.
